I have worked with beads for very many years. I make a range of polymer beads which are big, colourful and threaded very simply with a few wire spacers.  I work with three different glassworkers to make a range of jewellery from the beads and glass that they produce.

 I'm never 'off duty' so there are designs that originate from trips to Venice, Greece and America. I also have excellent sources of semi-precious beads that come from Hong Kong, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia and now there are buttons too! The world is now so well connected that I'm not abroad nearly as much as I would like to be, but that does give more time for making the jewellery!
