The GOBBLE BEAD is my signature bead. Most of my beads are based on this design. It is made by sewing a tube of fabric, then sewing glowing Japanese Miracle Beads, pearls and misc beads onto the tube. Layers of fabric are then built up with intricate wrapping and stitching so the beads seem to be embedded in the fabric. Then I embroider and wrap metallic and cotton threads over the surface. Simple Gobble: $44 Retail

The BALL GOBBLE BEAD begins the same way the Gobble Bead begins, in addition I embroider heavily around the edges with a contrasting colored thread. Simple Gobble: $44 Retail

The DELUXE GOBBLE BEADS are my most fabulous beads. They are tiny sculptures. They are made with same process as Gobble Beads, but I use more unusual materials and spend much more time embellishing and embroidering. Simple Gobble: $50 Retail

The POLLEN BEADS are characterized by two rows of seed beads sewn around each edge and large pearls that protrude from the surface. Beneath the pearls and glowing Japanese Miracle beads are layers of wrapped and sewn metallic and cotton threads. Simple Gobble: $44 Retail (They are also available made entirely from semiprecious stones and pearls for a bit more.)
