I have been an artist and a craftsman using fiber most of my life. Sometimes I make quilts as a craft for the sake of beauty, and often I express myself using fiber or quilting as an art. I also have done a bit of jewelry. However, I have had an allergic reaction to the metals, so I had to stop. SOO, I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and began to eat gluten free about 1.5 years ago. Well as a bonus some of my allergies disappeared, yes they are gone!
Now, I pulled some books out of the library and went to The Bead Factory in Tacoma. When I was there I decided to take a class called All Wired Up with Mark Lareau. It included his book: All Wired Up A BeadWork How to Book. The class was wonderful and the book is so easy to follow and learn from. Also the gallery is just a wonderful inspiration. Now all the books are going back and I am busy perfecting my workmanship. I was so busy I didn't have any time to take any pictures. Sorry.
For anybody living in the Northwest this is a class I recommend if you are interested in making jewelry. One of the students in the class was even an experienced jewelry maker and she was so glad that she took the class. Mark is not only a talented craftsman but also a great teacher and author.
