Greetings and welcome to my online gallery! I started putting together
beaded pieces in high school, with my love of all things artistic. Now
my designs are more sophisticated and the materials are much higher
grade, but I still love creating wearable art. Beaded jewelry for me
is a great melting pot; beautiful materials of all different shape,
size, color and texture come together in a vision that's sprung from
a memory or imaginary snapshot in time. This is the origin of the names
(and yes, some are silly)---I see a scene or design element in my mind as
I lay out the pieces. Unfortunately, some names stick and I've had to
restring necklaces to better reach the end vision. I hope you enjoy browsing
through my creations as much I as enjoyed making them. Please do contact
me if you have a question; you can email me at valorie@ofgoodcheer.com or
simply fill in the form below.
