Bead Art - Where Are They Now?

Bead Art, edited by Alice Korach, was one of the earliest books featuring beadwork as art. It was published in 1998 by Kalmbach Publishing Company who also published Bead & Button magazine. I frequently peruse the book and one time I got curious as to whether these artists were still around creating beautiful bead work. So I spent a few hours searching for each artist. All the artists in the book are listed below even if I didn't find anything about them.

Hello! I am one of the artists in this wonderful book. I am still around and creating beadwork. I don't know why the link you have posted does not go to my website. The correct website address is: corourke.com
I hope you will check out what I have been working on. Thank you!
