I’ve diverted my attention to sewing fabric lately instead of beads. Here are the latest purses and wallets I’ve made and some refashioned thrift store items I made for my beautiful granddaughter. The first jumper is a refashioned sweater with a cotton belt used for straps.
The second jumper and dress are refashioned from two men’s shirts. The red jumper is the softest corduroy I’ve ever worked with before. I think it works well with the plaid peasant-style dress made from a cotton blend shirt.
These are some of the latest wallets and purses I’ve been making.

I have done beadwork for over 25 years and got so interested in jewelry design that I took two metalwork classes at Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts in Gatlinburg, Tennessee from wonderful teachers Deborah Lynn Gold and Marjorie Simon. I can't choose a favorite medium. I love sculptural work and adore forming and fabricating metals, but three-dimensional beadwork is more colorful.
I sew a lot! Lately I've been making lots of purses and wallets as well as upcycling used clothing into new items.
Lately I've gone back to sewing and refashioning cast-off clothing–mostly men's shirts, into girls' clothing. I also enjoy making handbags and wallets. They are really fun to put together–like a puzzle.
