Live Out Loud: The Interviews!

It is a remarkable world out there, where imagination knows no limits. Here, I will share a few words from creative people who inspire me and work hard doing what they (and others) LOVE!

How did your business name come about?


I started out trying to find combinations that were not already taken by other beaders - drove me nuts so I ended up using my maiden name initials KP and added Beads. Was not overly happy with it but it sounded ok so I just went with it.

What would your children say about your creations?

My girls love what I am doing. I get comments like "Great work mum" "I love those beads mum" " You are doing good beading mum" Can I have some beads?" "Can I please have some clay?" I want a bracelet too!" And so on.

What can spark your imagination?

I like to do my daily exercise, helps me function and more often than not this is where I come up with most of my ideas. Polymer clay books have been great for learning basic skills and the odd youtube video as well.

Can you recall a quote that inspires you?

lol I wish. I am not much of a quote person although sometimes I think I should be.

What three words best describe your style?

Oh boy a tricky question! I honestly don't know but I will throw some words out there. Creative, unique, fun. That sounds about right.
