I so appreciate Robin Atkins’ creation of this bead Journal Project 2007.
All too often I find that I am not self motivated to start on a project unless given a
challenge and especially a dead-line to meet. This format helps me to structure my endeavors more concretely and avoid the ever present temptations and pitfalls to bring procrastination to even greater heights than ever before. This helped me to remain focused on the task I committed to in participating in this project and not drop out.

I am in constant flux. A human work in progress. ...as are my dolls, beaded work, and whimsical creations. I use a broad mixed-media palette of fabrics, beads, clay, and much more to work with. I concentrate on surface embellishment, adding new media as I grow and expand my treasure chest of techniques, with which to create and teach. My cloth doll patterns emphasize the creation of faces with personality, through needle sculpting and the manipulation of drawn features.
