 Virginia Ames, a Pueblo West, CO, resident,
has found bead embroidery, an off-loom bead weaving process,
a satisfying art form that has advanced to numerous award-winning projects
and gallery representations. She likens her bead embroidery to
placing another piece in a jigsaw puzzle,
as the colors and textures of the beads make each piece come alive.
