Beading Introduction: Leslie Pope of Twisted Sistah Beads

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Leslie Pope or as I am now known - Twisted Sistah Beads.

While recuperating from surgery in 2001, I was introduced to beading by a good friend. To say that I feel passionately in love with beading would be an understatement. So in the Spring of 2002 I started my traveling and web-based business, and I have not looked back since.

I just love beads ... lamp work, ceramic, polymer, stone ... you name it. But my true passion is for seed beads. I can't seem to get enough of them ... all the different sizes, shapes, and finishes ... oh my!

I am very flattered and excited to be a guest blogger on Love My Art Jewelry.  I hope my future posts on "all things seed beady" as my good friend Marsha of Marsha Neal Studio joking calls my endeavors will be informative as well as inspiring.

Until next time ... Happy Beading!
