Greetings - My name is Debbie Holland and I have been using my hands my entire life to express myself. As a child my mother taught me to sew and I made a lot of my clothes with my mother's assistance. When I became a mother I dressed my daughters in the clothing I made including special occasions and prom dresses. I also learned to do needwork and spent many fulling years doing cross stitch, needlepoint, embroidery, etc. I have always gardened and love the connection with mother earth that this vocation allows me. My new passion grabbed hold of me about 15 years ago when I took a beaded jewelry class at a local bead store. The rest is history. Not only did it give me a creative outlet to explore while my husband was laboring over his dissertation, but it opened new doors for me into not only creativity but a potential business venture.

I have a studio at my home in Central Texas and now spend my time creating unique one of a kind beaded adornments. I love personal contact with people and enjoy finding regional art shows where I can show my work and visit with people.
