"Beadwork is one of the most intricate and time-consuming of all craft techniques. Each tiny molecule of light is selected and attached to the next by using various fiber techniques such as sewing or weaving. I work with magnifying lenses and strong light, as the beads are so tiny that my naked eye often cannot see the subtle color variations. By combining many colors I can achieve something of the light effects of an impressionist painting."
