I collect natural gemstones, shells, minerals, crystals, rocks, and unusual beads of all sizes and shapes from all over the world. I use these natural pieces to embellish and create the unique and exceptional pieces of art that can be worn and displayed. Each piece is original, one of a kind, and hand crafted. All beads are sewn one bead at a time (no glue) to achieve the desired results. Artist: Paulette Hoflin Pauletteer@yahoo.com
