About tenym beads™
Tenym beads are handcrafted beads
with a handcrafted meaning.™
- Express gratitude
- Give encouragement
- Celebrate a friendship
- Honor an event
- One recipient gives their bead the meaning they need that day
- The one in my wallet reminds me of my creative side
- What might yours signify?...
Derived from the words time, energy, meaning, and memory, tenym beads are a reminder or resource, a message or pause.
Whether for a window, pendant, pocket, drawer, they are
what you need them to be, for yourself or for another.

It formally began over 25 years ago
when I started my work under the name
a little shade of wonderful™.
It began informally even before that,
simply picking things up or stopping to notice something on walks and trips, while
working or doing daily activities...
I, inadvertently, was practicing
awareness - awareness of wonderful,
even in small things.
And I simply like to share that.
My artist's statement?
All of us benefit from a daily dose of wonderful, no matter how small. My hope is that you get some wonderful in my work
and that it will help you see wonderful all around, in the many different forms it takes. ©
My Approach
A friend once said that my glass and
jewelry work have a simple elegance to them. I feel that, while not intentional, I

With my wood work, I fully get to
respond to and create with the treasure
I find along the way. That's a truly organic process throughout.
Exploring, playing, furrowing my brow, feeling my way through - these happen a lot. And, with these, quite a bit of creative problem-solving and cool moments, too. :)
