Janice Parsons’ Beading Blog

Meet the Author of Cool Jewels, Beading Projects for Teens on Saturday, November 10th from 3-5pm, Naomi Fujimoto

I am so excited to welcome Naomi to our shop on Saturday, November 10th from 3-5pm. Naomi will be signing her new book, Cool Jewels Beading Projects for Teens and doing some demos. Like many of you, she learned about beading in a class. This is what she has to say:

“I took my first jewelry class in L.A. at Ritual Adornments because I wanted to learn something I could finish in one sitting. (I was having writer’s block while working on my Master’s at UCLA.) After I moved back to Milwaukee, I started selling jewelry at boutiques and salons. Through a sorority connection, I joined the staff at BeadStyle magazine when it launched in 2003. Things have just taken off from there! I wrote a book for teens because I wanted to get younger people interested in jewelrymaking as a hobby.”

You can also email me if you have any other questions. Thanks!
N.
