About me: http://goodquillhunting.com
I now reside in Denver, Colorado. I absolutely LOVE it here!
Experience and Creativity: I found myself beading about 6 years ago. I landed a teaching role with Bead Fiesta in less than a year of beading and taught around New England with them for 4+ years. I have also taught at The Beadin' Path, Beads On The Kennebec and private lessons here in Maine.

I was a vendor at shows for 5 years, bead shows and Renaissance Fairs and smaller local venues, even on the streets of Portland, ME. I organized a show last year for NAMI Maine with the Etsy Maine team and outside local sources.

I have developed a line of bead design patterns and kits and sell those at my show venues and patterns online. You can see those here:

I have many design patterns waiting to be finished, so I can post them.

Recently, I have been published in Perlen Posie with my piece 'Manja' and was published with my piece 'Royalty' in the Premier Issue of Bead Trends.
Hobbies and Interests: I really enjoy reading, which I did profusely in school. I don't read so much anymore, not because I don't want to, but because there isn't enough time. I love to collect books and have a nice little library going. I also thoroughly enjoy baking and painting (walls, interior and exterior). I am pretty much very 'domesticated' ;)

It turns out too that I am a computer geek of sorts. I really enjoy doing graphics and working on my website. I am constantly playing around on there making changes or upgrading it.
Fields of Creativity: I have many interests in my 47 years. I have been crocheting since I was 6 and sewing since I was 8, which has lead me to a life of needlework.I have been cross stitching as well, for as long as I can remember.
Favorite Movies and Books: I am a horror movie buff and love ID TV too. I have many books of Dean Koontz and Stephen King.
Musically, I am a heavy metal/rock music fan. All time fave is Metallica.
