Joanne has been an avid beader for over 30 years and started
making jewelry after participating in a workshop on quill and seed bead
earrings. This inspired her to learn
more about beaded jewelry and, using how-to-bead books, was soon was making
necklaces, earrings and bracelets. The
first time she attended BeadExpo in Santa Fe, she was blown away by the sheer
volume and variety of gemstone, pearl and designer beads. She also discovered the benefits of on-line
shopping, which makes the high end supplies that she uses in her jewelry
readily available. She has been selling
to family, friends and colleagues for the past 25 years and plans on making her
hobby a full time job, with retirement coming up in the next few months. One of the things she enjoys most about
designing and making jewelry is the excitement and joy of seeing the pieces
come together, resulting in a wearable piece of art. Joanne says her jewelry is for that woman that
truly enjoys a lot of bling!!
