Mask Bead Tutorial in Glass Line Magazine
This tutorial in Glass Line magazine focuses on not only how to do a mask bead, but also why I make them! I describe how I met my painter friend Tascha and how I came up with my version of mask beads after she requested that I make some "Folk Art Face" beads. This interview was published in the 20th anniversary issue, June/July 2006.
Exclusive Interview on BeadingHelpWeb
This interview by Lynn Kvigne was very fun and thought provoking for me. Besides the usual "about me" questions, I also answered questions regarding eBay and online selling strategies. Thanks, BeadingHelpWeb for a fun interview! This interview was published in April 2006.

"Juicy Frog" by Mary Lockwood
Featured Artist - Mary Lockwood Artist Gallery
I had the privilege of being the Guest Artist for the Week of February 12-18, 2006 on Mary Lockwood's site.
Mary is an artist that I have admired for some time, and this was a very fun interview. Be sure to check out Mary's awesome frogs, florals and other fun beads on her site and on eBay! I am the happy and proud owner of "Juicy Frog" seen at left. This interview was published in February 2006.
Bead Unique Magazine
I did not write an article for this Bead Unique magazine, but a couple of my rooster beads are part of a bead photography tutorial written by Stephen and Suzanne Dougherty. The article is called "Point, Click, and Smile" and is on page 62. This issue was published in May 2005.
Stephen and Suzanne Dougherty own Table Top Studio, a photography system for people like me who aren't photographers(!) It is wonderful to use -- here is my personal review of Table Top Studio.
The Flow is a small, independant glass magazine publisher. I am in the "Women in Glass" issue (no, not a swimsuit issue LOL), a great issue featuring several women who work with glass -- making beads and other glass art. This issue was published in February 2005.
Beadwork magazine contacted me about writing a "how to" on a necklace design I created some time ago, called the Triple Drop necklace. It was published in April of 2004 (April/May issue), and features my lampwork as well as a beautiful floral bead by Amy Trescott of Forever Grateful Beads.
Corina's Spotlight - Beads for the Inner Child
I am excited because... I have an article on Fun Bugs in this issue! The beads I made are on the cover -- hard to see in this small version, but there they are... the bugs in the lower left by the flame.
I have a few copies of this available for purchase. Please email me for details.
