Thanks for stopping by!

Bodacious Beadwork
I have made.
I have sold my beadwork on ebay since January 2000. In the summer and fall I sell at at a wide variety of events in Central Oregon. Here are a few:
In July and August, Munch'n'Music on Thursday evenings in Drake Park are a lot of fun; we have bands from all over the Pacific Northwest come to play, and there is a lot of good food there, as well.
The Bend Summer Festival is held in downtown Bend for 2 days in July each year, and there is great music, food, local beer and wine, activities for children, and beautiful handcrafts and fine art for sale.
There is also a 2-day Bend Fall Festival in October, which is much like the Bend Summer Festival, with a Harvest theme.
Be sure not to miss the Sisters Harvest Faire in October, in downtown Sisters, Oregon. Central Oregon Saturday Market is located across from the Bend Library, 9am to 4pm. It runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend.
I make chokers, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, eyeglass chains, earrings, hair barrettes, amulet purses, beaded bottles, candlesticks, vases, and Christmas ornaments, as well as macrame hemp jewelry. I do not sell imports... all of my auctions are for original pieces, handcrafted by me. I am very particular about my work, and I make sure that each piece is not only beautiful, but also very durable, by the methods I use in knotting and attaching the clasps.
I would love to make something just for you, so if you have a SPECIAL REQUEST, please let me know by email...
Here are some customer comments...
"Barb you are incredible! Juli just looked at this and said "That's it!
That's the necklace I want! She too is learning to trust your artistic
judgment! She says if you can make some dangling earrings based on this
necklace design, sort of what she drew, but matching this necklace, she
wants that.
For my teardrop earrings, please put them on surgical steel posts.
For Juli, she wants surgical steel french wires.
Thanks, thanks, thanks!"
"Hi, Barbara!
It's a pleasure doing business w/you - your beadwork is beautiful, and your service & communication are great!"
"Hello, Barbara!
I rec'd the necklace yesterday - it's beautiful, as is all of your work, and the bracelet was a great bonus!.
It is SUCH a pleasure doing business with you - I wish all e-bayers were like you.
Thanks again - I'm sure we'll be doing business again soon!"
"Hi Barbara!
This is Karen from Florida! I really think the necklace is so unique and I can't wait to wear it. This is my first EBay purchase.
Hope things are great out there in Oregon. Looking forward to checking out some more of your work. (This is my mothers day present to myself hehehe) Could you make more bracelets? I'll be watching!"
"Hello Barbara,
Let me just start off by saying that I got the necklaces today and they
are absolutely beautiful!!! I have never been so impressed with
anything! The quality, the delicate nature of each piece, the colors,
all absolutely gorgeous. I feel like I have discovered a real treasure
in having found you. You have made a customer for life!"

Personally
I reside in sunny Central Oregon and it is like being on vacation all year :) Spoiled Rotten Furkids are an 8 yr. old white lab, Buddy, and a 3 year old, Shadow, whose mom is Border Collie/Australian Shepherd. I highly recommend the ebay sellers who have left me feedback below. I enjoy Rock and Blues music, reading, decorating, collecting glass bottles and various other "pretties", digital photography, cruising the internet and learning new things, playing games, weeding the garden and planting seeds, and making new friends :o) In the past I have enjoyed drawing, painting, Stained Glass Overlay, etching, ceramics, miniature furniture building, and many other creative endeavors.

Buddy and Shadow
The masks in the above photo are Beverly Herman design, and the Dragons are a design by Kimberly Chapman. Annette Tomasetti inspired the doll pins, and Nikia Angel inspired me to do the herringbone hanging ornaments. Annie Hoke taught me to make the wire and bead dragonfly.
Amulet purses from designs by Suzanne Cooper, alien earrings are my own design.
A bracelet I created in gourd stitch with several sizes of beads, for a winter-themed beadwork swap. I called it
