Artisan Inspirations
Sometimes as an artist, I find inspiration to be elusive... sometimes it becomes just a matter of being still and listening for a while, and reminding myself, that I don't always have to create. Working in mixed metals is a very different process for me... a longer process with many intricate details to attend to before the finished piece is ready for viewing. I remind myself to be "in" the process and to enjoy the ride, and I would offer that it makes a big difference in the quality, look and feel of the finished piece. The "piece" I create, whatever it is... is given much attention... the same attention to detail that you enjoy in my beaded work. I hope you will continue to follow, and to feel inspired by what you see.
My work can be found at Liz-Beth Gallery, 9211 Park West Boulevard, Knoxville, TN, or you can visit with me in my studio to create something special&unique; just for you or your loved one. Call now! 865.360.3007.

ARE THESE PEARLS REAL???
Many times, I am asked: "Are these pearls real?" Here's a little secret! The next time you want to know if a pearl is real or not, try this:Rub it between your teeth!
If it feels rough and scratchy, it's REAL!
If it feels smoothe, it's FAKE!
There are many grades of pearls, many shapes and sizes, several varieties. The most affordable are Freshwater Pearls. Look for at least a B grade pearl, if not A grade. All pearls will have some marks, but A&B; grade are the smoother ones, less lines, more refined shape, nicer lustre, and affordable. Then again, some folks absolutely LOVE the ones with many lines saying it "adds character".
