I make unique handcrafted French beaded flowers, jewelry and accessories that you can purchase for yourself or that special someone. French beaded flowers can be used to brighten and enhance any space in your home or office. They make wonderful alternatives than real flowers for those who have allergies or curious pets and can also be passed down to the next generation.

I fell in love with French beaded flowers earlier this year when I was looking for something crafty to do. I haven't been able to put them down since.

My flowers are made using the French beading technique. Thousands of tiny seed beads are strung onto flexible wire and shaped into various flower components. These parts come to life when they are crafted to make flowers and foliage. Next the stems are wrapped with floral tape and embroidery floss to give them a silky finish.

In an effort to support programs and organizations that focus on domestic violence, I will donate 50% of the proceeds from my awareness items. These items will be marked with a DV. Throughout the year, I will be supporting the YWCA of Richmond. For more information about the YWCA, go to www.ywcarichmond.org. Let me know if you have any comments, questions or concerns.
