My Muse Needs a Name

2/1/2013

The Muses Urania and Calliope

So here we have classic muses and modern fairies. I think my muse is more the latter---spritely, joyous, full of energy. And of course, I may have to have three of them to keep me busy.
And also, of course, they are GOOD fairies, or sprites, or muses.

However, I think my muse needs a real name. "Muse" is just so impersonal. So, what shall it be? Something Shakespearean, something poetic, something modern? Something that denotes creativity, energy, passion? Something symbolic? I shall ponder this...

Three Spirits Filled With Joy

About Me . . .

I am a beader.
I love it. . . all parts of it: planning projects, buying beads, accumulating tools, reading articles, organizing my studio, auditioning designs, researching other artists, and hopefully inspiring myself to continue courting the beading muse.

I have been designing handmade beaded jewelry since about 1995,
and always my focus has been on What Women Buy for Themselves (although I have LOTS of customers who are men too!)

All pieces are designed and made by me in my studio here in Camas, Washington.
Czech glass in bold colors is my main "fabric." In addition, copper, brass, vintage German glass, handmade lamp work beads, and copper and silver wirework are mixed with metals, gemstones, pearls and found objects in one-of-a-kind designs.
