Marie Harriman
(a.k.a. Beadus Nirvanus) 
Marie has been creating beaded jewelry for over ten years. She uses a number of techniques, including bead crochet, polymer clay, various beaded rope techniques, bead weaving, wire wrapping, wire work, and silk knotting. While creating jewelry she enters a mystical state known as Bead Nirvana, where thoughts of other hobbies (knitting, sewing, Law & Order reruns), paying her husband proper attention, playing with the cats, nourishment and self-preservation are secondary to completion of The Piece of the Moment.

Chris Condon
(a.k.a. Beadus Widowerus) 
Chris, Marie's husband, really has nothing to do with beading, though Marie claims that he serves as Chief Muse. Mainly, he stays out of the way when the beading bug hits. Oh, and he designed this web site. He can also design one for you. For a price.
 
Snuggles
(a.k.a. Vomitus Maximus) 
Snuggles died of cancer at the age of 15 in January, 2005. He was a lovable lump of love right up until the end. We'll miss him.

Snuggles sat on the couch, ate, and puked, not necessarily in that order. He was an artist in his own right, of a sort. Based on his enormous size, we determined that Snuggles was a member of the ancient species Felis Neanderthalis, or Neandercat. His favorite food was Iam's Chunky Scrod.

Snuggles many aliases included Wugs, Wug-a-lugs, Wugalcious, Wug-of-My-Dreams, Wugs-of-the-Rockies, Boo-Bear, Boo, and The Big Black Wugs of Texas.

Oh, the Big Black Wugs of Texas
Is all covered with hair
Oh he must be from Texas
'cause everything's bigger there

Katrina
(a.k.a. Beadus Interruptus)
Katrina is Queen of the Universe, and therefore interrupts the beading process whenever her Royal Highness sees fit. Which is as it should be, no matter how much we would sometimes like to throw Her Majesty out the window.
