Sciencing My Way to a Fabulous Life
Hey, everyone. My apologies if it took me some time to visit and write on here. It's been a busy month with all the portfolio preparations and back-to-back watercolor painting classes that I have committed to do for our homeschooling community.

Part of my goal last year was to form a team of apprentice whom I could teach how about bead jewelry making.

It's the only way to keep my hands from rubbing them. My doctor told me to relax but my brain is bursting with… Continue reading Earrings Galore Part 2 (Valentine’s Day Series)
Let's admit it girls, at one point, we owned at least one charm bracelet. Â Charm bracelets have been around for ages. Â In fact, in ancient times, charm bracelets were used to ward off devils. Â Charm bracelets can be made of anything - bones, wood, shells, glass, gemstone, plastic beads, anything! Â This bracelet used to mean… Continue reading Charm Bracelets
One reason why I'd like to call myself "the fabulous scientist" aside from plain vanity (LOL) is I do love designing and making beaded fashion accessories and yes, there's also science in creating them!
