About Me

Hello. My name is Jennie Hennesay AKA SilverMist AKA The Bead Doodler.
I'm interested in any kind of alternative healing and natural living.
Hand crafting has been a part of my life as long as I can remember, so it's not surprising that beads captured my attention. I'm always looking for new things to do.
Not too long after I taught myself to bead, I decided I needed to make patterns, just in case I wanted to repeat an item (like that's gonna happen!). And I decided to put the patterns up for sale.
I continue to make beaded jewelry and if I think the item warrants it I make a pattern.
Of course I'm always looking for something "new" and have started making crocheted bags from plastic grocery bags and some other repurposing ideas. I'm working on a lens on one of those, but it's gonna be a while.
Enjoy browsing my lenses.
