My name is Wendy and I am a 45 year old Native American woman, living in North Western Minnesota. My beloved maternal grandmother, Eulalia "Babe" LaFriniere, taught me bead work when I was very young, and I now do other types of beading besides seed beads. I travel to Pow Wow's, art festivals and other venues to sell my bead work and other art. I also teach classes, and hold Home Jewelry Parties. I create beads with a torch using colored rods of glass (called 'lampwork') do stained glass, make Precious Metal Clay items and fashion belts out of pop tabs.

I have a 26 year old daughter, grown and away from home and recently became a grandmother to Logan James in February!! I read lots, whatever I can get my hands on but really love psychological thrillers or mysteries. I also ride my purple Harley Davidson motorcycle for relaxation.

Please feel free to suggest events where you would like to see me exhibit my work.  If you would like to be added to an e-mail newsletter list, where I update my schedule and let you know of new works, please let me know!!  I am pleased you found my website!
