Q: You have achieved a lot in the beading world. Is there a next goal you want to accomplish?

A: I still feel that I have a lot to accomplish with my beads, I would love to develop a style that was instantly recognisable. For people to see a bead of mine and say, “Oh yes, that is one of Pips” I still feel I have a long way to go to achieve that.

Q: If you were not a bead artist, what would you be doing?

A: I honestly have no idea, but I am pretty sure it would be making something, anything!

Q: Do you have a life motto and if so, would you like to share this with us?

A: I don’t really have a motto, but I try to make a conscious effort to be happy. It is so easy to be down about things, to not really appreciate all the good that we have. We all get bogged down with the generally day to day problems and difficulties of life, but, for most of us, there are many, many reasons to just be happy a little every day. I just try to remember that.

Q: Do you have tips and tricks you like to share with us?

A: They only way to avoid getting lint in your clay, especially white clay, is to clay naked!!! Not that I do, ever!
