Marilyn's beadwork is called beadweaving and once you visit her many sites and see some of the things that she has created I believe you will find her inspiring as much as I did.

I work from home since I had to retire due to chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis, and also Osteoarthritis in my spine. I consider myself handi-capable, in spite of my setbacks. I look forward to each day and do my best to make it a good one! I have a wonderful, supportive husband, three super children and seven outstanding grandchildren :)

All my creations are one-of-a-kind (OOAK). 
I take great pride in creating beautiful jewelry using only quality gemstones, specialty beads, and use only the best of materials in each creation. Rest Assured I still shop all over the world for the best quality gemstones, etc. at the best prices,...
