Looking for that special bead for this month’s challenge? Clay beadmaker, Joan Miller creates colorful and expressive mermaid focal beads. It’s Joan’s attention to detail that makes her beads so unique.
Her beads have caught the attention of Beadwork magazine who has profiled Joan in their August/September 2007 issue. Joan’s mermaids also won FIRST PLACE in the handmade beads and buttons category at the 2007 Bead Dreams competition. Congratulations Joan!
