About Beadage

My name is Emma McCreary, and I'm the owner of Beadage. I live in Portland, OR where I run a small web hosting company as well as an e-commerce web design company.

I run this site in my spare time. I created the jewelry tutorials over the years, and now I'm expanding sections like the Jewelry Gallery so people can contribute to the site. My goal is to make Beadage into a comprehensive resource for those who wish to learn more about how to make beaded jewelry.
