B. O. T. B '15 - Handbag „Potpourri “

Beading is like composing. My notes are glass beads in their infinite color combinations, sizes and shapes. I choose the matching colors and sizes in free improvisation. And as in the music note by note is composed to a chord, bead by bead is forming a detail, and many of these details form the whole oeuvre, like a beautiful melody. My "Potpourri" is originated from the wealth of my beads melodies.
