About the Author

Nancy Eha is an internationally recognized beading artist, teacher and author. Most of the beading techniques she teaches and those contained in this book are techniques she has developed by spending countless hours asking "What If?" questions of beads and fabric.

As a teacher she relishes the joy and beading successes of her students. Although beading is time intensive, she believes beading is not difficult to master if one breaks down the techniques into small teachable learning steps. And beading is fun!

As Queen Mother of the Royal Order of Bead Explorers, Nancy holds a special royal coronation for those students who prove they are fearless bead explorers. So remember to bring your tiara and other royal finery when you attend a workshop.

A life-long resistant of Minnesota, Nancy currently resides in the scenic St. Croix River Valley near the historic town of Stillwater.
