"My name is Alice and I'm addicted to beads.
In fact, I am the Imelda Marcos of beads!
I have been making and selling jewellery for nearly 14 years. I had intended to go to Art College to study costume design but some how ended up studying at Trinity College in Dublin. As a result I hold degrees in Computer Engineering and Mathematics.
I moved to the UK from Ireland shortly after my last exam and settled in the market town of Biggleswade about 50 miles north of London. I have always loved making jewellery and my passion is off-loom bead weaving.
I worked for a number of years in IT but have recently left that world behind me to be a stay at home mum to Amelia who was born in April '08."
The amount of work involved in making these exquisite beaded items is amazing - Alice must have a lot of patience!
This Purple Velvet Pendant is truly beautiful - very regal colours
The Primrose Pin is very pretty - just like a little flower
These Frog Princess Earrings are gorgeous - the colour of peridot
You can see more beautifully made beaded items in Snapdragon Beads' Coriandr Shop, become a fan on Facebook, follow Alice on Twitter, and catch up with her blog here.
