If you wonder why anyone would want to give themselves a name like SowZerE  here's the explanation.

Some years ago I took a City and Guilds course in creative embroidery.  I had always liked  any type of art and craft and this was a revelation.  I have enjoyed working with textiles since - just one of my many interests.  I really liked to work with silk and when challenged one day I, of course said

"Well you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear"

and I kind of got stuck with the reputation.  It was my husband's idea to change the spelling and it's different enough,  which appeals to my sense of humour

Oh -  and because of the name, all of my beads - focals or sets will be sent to you in a little hand made silk drawstring bag - a legacy from my textile days. So you see in this case you will get a silk purse from SowZerE!
