An old friend once said to me,
“Julie, there are two kinds of people in this world. The first type sees something they like in a store window and says, ‘I think I’ll buy that’. The second sees that same item in the store window and says, ‘I can make that!’ You are the latter”.

Sometimes I think my life has been one long search for the ultimate creative outlet.

Beading started out as a fun hobby to share with friends over a bottle of wine, which has since turned into a business. Most of my designs are one-of-a-kind pieces. If there is anything you particularly like, please contact me and we can talk about customizing something for you.

The events link will keep you up to date on any art fairs I will be at in the near future. I’m also available for home parties if you live in the Chicago area. Email me if you have any questions or comments.

In my spare time, when I’m not beading, I am a portrait artist, video editor, and I even make my own cards. Just don’t ask me to cook. That’s what microwaves are for.
