All beads have been handmade by the artist and range in size from 1/4" to 3/4" of an inch. Each is uniquely handrolled; a mold is never used. Beginning with clay as the base material, many different techniques and elements are then incorporated into each bead for multiple effects and styles. Some of the natural elements used to create these beads are: Chesapeake Bay Maryland sand, Lake Superior Michigan stone and sand, Dominican Republic sand and Assateague Island Maryland shell, stone and sand. Some of the larger focal beads include Chesapeake Bay Maryland sea glass in their composition.

Each focal bead is uniquely handcrafted by the same

process outlined above. Sizes range from 1" to 1 1 1/4",

excepet for the sea glass beads that range in size from

about 1/2" to 1 1/4". Although only a select few

colors are pictured below, any color is available

as a focal bead.
