My passion with beadwork began when I was a teenager and came across a book on French beaded flowers. As with many other types of art I was making, instead of starting with some simpler projects, I went straight for the goal. I decided to make an entire composition of lilies for my grandma’s birthday.
Given the fact that my grandma was living with us, I had to cover my work in progress while in school. The flowers were quite large and I did not have the option to hide them in a drawer or a closet. Funnily enough, I ended up creating a box of sorts out of an old science project board (coincidence?) and made my grandma promise not to open it when I was not home. That is when I fell in love with beadwork.
When I returned to beadwork in my 30’s, I dug out the book and tried adapting the same techniques to scientific images. It got complicated very quickly. So every once in a while, I like to return to making these little beauties.

More recently, I have also learned to embroider with beads and crystals.
With long term projects like the one I am currently working on, sometimes it is really nice to have a quick win like this one:
