Hi Everyone!
Today I would like to share with you a lovely lady who, after a lifetime, can still keep her hands moving with needle and small beads. Her name is Rima Phillips.
In her own words
I started beading young, before high school, when some friends and I
bought an Indian loom in the local “candy store” and spent a summer
making headbands; I have been beading on and off ever since. That makes
it what, about 70+ years!?! I used to do a lot of off-loom beading, but
have been doing bead embroidery on your Nicole's BeadBacking for about 5 years now. I
live in a retirement community in New Jersey and participate in the
county and state senior art shows every year. I also teach a bead class and a polymer clay class here in my community.
Here are a few of my bead art pieces from
previous years:
