This is what it's all about....!

I teach beading and craft classes because I really love to see when people find their creativity. One of my most recent students, Caroline, was new to both beadwork and polymer clay. She recently completed these two beautiful projects, which she plans to give as a gift to a friend. One of the projects she made from one of my tutorial patterns. She has made my day!
