Welcome

Welcome to my EXPANDED wonderful world of beads. Through the wonders of the internet, I can now post pictures of my newest and exciting designs as soon as I make them! I am busy now putting on the necklaces and bracelets I have made in the past few months. In the future, as I go to bead shows and make new things, I will post them here. So check back often.

I often make only a few items in a particular design. If there is something you like, contact me to see if that specific item is still available. Chances are, if it is not, I can make something similar. The advantage to this is that you will have a unique piece of jewelry that expresses your own style.

Check the calendar section on the right to find my upcoming shows.

I hope you enjoy looking at these designs as much as I have enjoyed making them!

Be sure to visit my original website - www.akdbeadesigns.com.

From now on, notice of shows and communications will be through email. So end me an email now - beadesigns@comcast.net - with your email address, and I will keep you updated on shows and events.

Have you ever thought you would like to learn how to do bead crochet? I will be teaching classes at Village Artisans in North Attleboro MA.  The next class will be in February 2010. I would love to share this beautiful and relaxing craft with you!
