Creating Art ~ Building Friendships
Hi, I'm Denise Stahl. When I was in the 7th grade, my best friend Ana and I dreamed about writing craft books and teaching art. Finally, 40 year later, we are both making our childhood dreams come true (see Ana's site at http://www.whencreativityknocks.com/). Beading Together combines my passion for creating beautiful art - beaded art - with teaching and friendship. I believe people's creative juices really flow when they work together - they inspire each other. Working together also creates and strengthens friendships. Beading Together is a place where wonderful things happen - art, laughter, insight, beauty, love, and friendship. I am committed to sharing time, expertise, top quality materials and inspiration so that the bead artist in you blossoms. In addition to beading, I also quilt, knit, weave, cross stitch, read, pray, travel, dance, and take care of my home and family.
I would welcome the opportunity to get to know you and your friends over a tray of beautiful beads and a cup of tea or glass of wine. I am just beginning this journey, so if you don't see anything that sparks your interest, please let me knowand I can try to add that to my line of classes and designs
A word about materials
I am dedicated to bringing together the best materials for the best price. It is important to me to know where every bead and finding comes from and what it is made from so that I
can pass on to you high quality materials.
Some of my sources include:
Art Beads
Bello Modo
Fire Mounain Gems
Fusion Beads
Karen Thomas Designs
Rio Grande
