About Me

The Creative Me:

Ever since childhood I have had a love of creating.
As a child I started out drawing cartoons, then as I grew I moved to pencil sketching, then general crafts and polymer clay,
then loom beading, then silver clay, and in the last few years I have found a true love in seed beading.
especially like encrusted seed bead embroidery, inspired by artists such as Sherry Serafini and Heidi Kummli.
I bead on a small scale, never really making anything larger than a pendant or brooch,
but plan to venture out into other, larger, beading projects as time permits.
I have a blog on WordPress, where I post photos and info on my latest projects.
Please feel free to follow me on my blog and twitter, or use my contact page.
A person can never have too many beady friends!

The Business Me:

All the items you see on this web site were lovingly created by me, Beth King, out of the highest quality beads,
strongest threads and wire, PMC silver clay, and professional-grade polymer clay.

YES! I take custom orders.
If you see something on this web site or in my Etsy shop, but need it in a different color or size,
please use the "Contact Beth" link on the left side of this page.

The Personal Me:

I am a 40-something mother and grandmother, and former medical transcriptionist and editor.
I recently gave up medical transcription to move on to more pleasant, creative endeavors.
I grew up in Massapequa Park, Long Island, NY, and other than a 10-month stay in E. Stroudsburg, PA, I stayed on Long Island until age 32.
I then moved to Fairfax, Vermont, and after spending 4 LONG winters in Vermont in the 1990s I lived in several other places,
including Plymouth, MA, Seneca Falls, NY, Medford, Long Island NY, Aiken SC, and I now reside in North Charleston, South Carolina (in that order).
I have been in South Carolina since late 2004 and plan to stay a while.
I currently live with my boyfriend, Ed, my two dogs Daisy and Pixie, and cat Sugar.

During my lifetime I have worked as a bank teller, insurance salesperson, photo lab manager, photographer,
medical transcriptionist service owner/editor and supervisor, retail salesperson/cashier, flea market vendor,
professional resume writer, investment firm secretary, and personal assistant. That is the condensed list!
These days I fancy myself an artist and writer, and I believe those titles suit my personality the best, and I plan to keep them a while. :-)
