Inspiration - L’Île de Beauté
See what inspires my unique bead jewelry designs
Corsica (WikI) is rich in beauty from its green granite stone and white sand and stone beaches to its snow-capped mountains—all just minutes away from each other by car. It is home to Club Med and just about any water or land sport you can think of. Many Europeans visit Corsica annually but most American's pass it by which is a shame because people who like to travel off the beaten path will find that Corsica really is “off the beaten path.” While most business proprietors know some English, it never hurts for you to know some French as well.
On a warm summer day, the scent of the maquis (sounds like "mah-key") fills the air and it is just wonderful. Maquis, is low growing green leaf plant that covers the mountainsides. It is sort of like a shrub with a musk-like scent.

Nicknamed “the isle of beauty” it is from this natural wonder that I draw my inspiration for designing bead jewelry. I have chosen colors that reflect a characteristic of my homeland by the sea and in the mountains.
Below is a video slideshow my son made with his photos and a few of my husbands'. Please comment about it on YouTube.
