Karen Lutz |
| Karen has been playing with beads since she was little, but it was in the summer of 2000 that the "beading bug" bit her, resulting in the creation of her own jewelry business. She enjoys both loom-work and off-loom techniques, including bead crochet and knitting with beads. In beadwork, Karen has found a use for her background in math, which allows her to create intricate pieces based on mathematic formulas. |
