| Hello, I am Dusty......... Welcome to my addiction! I hope you have found something in all the pages of designs that has made you happy. I have done jewelry and/or beaded designs for many years. It continues to be a never ending learning experience. I have fallen in love with so many different crafts. There has been jewelry, beads, wire, wood and plexi-glass through the years. As luck would have it, I have stuck to many of the things I fell in love with all those years ago. I really love beading but the idea of putting it all together just thrills me. The new crafts now are doing just that. You can mix metal with beads or PMC with fused glass. Even fiber with jewelry. It is just amazing. My newest love is lampworking and I am trying to stay busy with that lately. I have also gone back to the tiny beading that made me fall in love tons of years ago! I really do not want to stay with just one thing. I want to learn all I can, while I am still able. Things have changed quite a bit in the last few years. I cannot get as much done as I used to but I do not want to stop until I am forced. I am still teaching and I really love that. Not sure how much longer I will be able to but I hope for just a while longer. Meeting new people is great. I just hope that I know I can no longer teach before any of my students do. : ( Ha! I try to use my own designs but if you have something of your own that you want made, I will do my best to accommodate you. At times I may be unable to get beads that were used in the past but I will certainly try to get as close as possible. I keep thinking I have all the tools I will need for a while. Yeah, right!! I finally got my lapidary equipment. Too Kewl!!! I am STILL trying to get this website up to date but I guess that will never happen. I SO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT MY CUSTOMERS DO NOT SEEM TO MIND THAT MY WEBSITE IS A BIT BEHIND THE TIMES. I am trying to update my website today, again. (December 19, 2007) There are newer gallery pictures for you to see. If I can receive orders from Japan, straight off my site, surely it means it has gotten easier to navigate. TO ORDER: All you have to do is email me, with ANY questions. Pay Pal does very well with the orders but only I can help you with what is in stock and the current prices. I am going to TRY and sell beads, gems, crystals or whatever as soon as humanly possible, so be looking for that!!! I still have not had the time to bag up any beads. If any of you still want some just email me and let me know what you are looking to find. I promise you that there is hardly a thing that I do not have!!! I have some really beautiful gems. I have finally decided I cannot live long enough to use what I have. Especially since I am making my own. DUH!! OK, BACK TO WORK!! GENTLE HUGS TO Y'ALL!! |

SOME ARE LINKS TO FOLKS THAT HAVE GONE BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY TO HELP ME IN DIFFERENT WAYS. |
| ***IMPORTANT NOTICE*** Wig Jig classes. Gary Helwig's Wig Jig website has everything anyone could possibly need to help one learn how to use his jigs. He has beautiful pictures and tutorials. Some people find it comforting to have someone there as they learn, THAT is where I come in. Having an instructor there helps one to concentrate on the design and keeps one from worrying so much about looking at pictures and reading. I did go to classes myself, as I stated above, to keep up with new things and for the fun of having other folks around. There is just no time now. I hope that I can give that little bit of comfort to the people that come for my classes. Please visit Gary's Wig Jig website @ http://www.wigjig.com |

I CAN GET YOU STARTED IN BEADED JEWELRY, PEYOTE STITCHED BAGS, AND/OR NEEDLE CASES AND THIMBLE HOLDERS, WIG JIG CLASSES, WIRE WRAPPING, FUSED GLASS, PMC AND QUITE A FEW OTHER PHASES OF MAKING JEWELRY.

I WILL TEACH YOU ABOUT WIRE AND WHAT GAUGES TO USE FOR WHAT TYPE OF JEWELRY. I WILL HELP YOU LEARN HOW TO ORDER YOUR SUPPLIES AND ALSO HELP YOU WITH THOSE ORDERS. LET ME TEACH YOU HOW TO BE CONFIDENT IN USING YOUR TOOLS AND SUPPLIES. LET'S MAKE IT FUN !!! www.treasurestotrinket@sbcglobal.net |
