What fascinates you about using SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS?
Everything! The variety of color, innovative styles and range of components are all very inspiring

What is your favorite SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS color?
Tough question … I would have to say Ruby, but I can hardly wait to see the new Magma color … RED is my favorite color!

What is your favorite SWAROVSKI ELEMENT?
Another difficult question because I love so many of them … I suppose it would be the 4mm bicone (5301) - it's basic but it's versatility gives it appeal. On a more focal basis, my favorites would likely be 5530 Center Aquiline or 5523 Cosmic

What is your favorite design you have ever created with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS?
My Oh So Gorgeous bracelet which uses 4mm bicones in a fringe technique; I instructed a class on it in Tucson 2009
