Beyond Beads Gallery celebrated 21 years in business and  Jody closed her retail store doors 9 years ago.  She is now on her new Journey of teaching her Raised Texture Beading Style, doing shows, bead society's, retreats and shows.   more info

My purpose and journey is to INSPIRE you!

I was the little girl that colored outside the lines and have continued it through my adult years. Allow me the pleasure to show you how easy and freeing it is.

“Raised Texture Beading” style is free-form (no patterns to follow), allowing you let the beads speak to you through color, texture and placement. I use a variation of stitches to create movement and texture throughout your beadwork allowing your work to come alive! These workshops will change the way you look, see and create with beads….
 

2020 is a different year and she cancelled all of  travels. Staying in her home town and studio.  Offer Zoom on line workshops.

Videos May 13th - July 1st

What an honor to be invited to do this 9 series video's with FMG. They will release one every Wed. starting May 13th and ending on July 1st. You can see them on FMG Facebook and they will also go onto YouTube under FMG. I will also add all the links to all of my social media platforms.

These videos will cover getting started with bead embroidery (couching style), different ways to create texture, inspiration and finishing techniques.

You will create components and them apply them to a project you want to make. Bracelet, broche, pendant and even a large collar.

I will also cover design.
 

I hope to finish her writing and complete her book.

Memories:

Beyond Beads Gallery in Spokane Valley, Washington had the WOW factor. Upon stepping into the store you realized you were in a magical place. Looking around you wondered which direction to go first...toward the crystals, seed beads or stones.
 

It was  a place of comfort and quietness -a place to relax and be inspired. selection of beads, crystals, stones, beading supplies and tools in Spokane and the Inland Northwest.  Her success can be attributed to the fact that she welcomed changes in the industry; always embracing new and evolving trends in the beading world, yet staying true to the basic concept of beading and to all of her customers that supported the store for years.

I think it’s safe to say, that in these new and tender times we have found ourselves in with the COVID-19 pandemic, all of us have been affected by this virus in a variety of ways. Some of these affects have touched all our lives, bringing a sense of community, empathy and understanding amongst all of us here in the USA. Other affects have been unique to each of us. While we are all in this together, some of our friends, family, neighbors and fellow human beings have had to deal with situations far beyond what anyone should ever have to endure. There are people living without basic necessities. The GofundMe link is on Bead Feed page and you can donate to our cause "Feeding America"
I wanted to combine my passion and my purpose, so I decided I would donate one of my new beaded collars that I created for the Fire Mountain Gems and Beads online videos which are coming May 13th - July 1st.
This beaded collar will be raffled off to those who donate at least $10 to the GoFundMe. After bringing up my intentions to some of my friends and fellow bead artists, I was overwhelmed by the incredible amount of offers to join my cause. So in addition to my beaded collar, every time you donate at least $10, you will be entered into each drawing, which is already over 20 pieces of original beadwork by various artists.
