Bead Me A Story
Mary Soucy, of Bead Me A Story, creates unique Chainmaille items in mixed media from her Glen Burnie, Maryland studio in the suburbs of Baltimore. Originally a seed bead and polymer clay artist, she finds new ways to use beads, rings, rubber and metal in her jewelry designs. As a supplier, it offers Mary the opportunity to experiment with a lot of different items to see if they can be worked into her designs. Mary creates everything from whimsical and colorful flowers from rubber and acrylic to elegant rhinestone creations. Basically, she is someone who has a hard time thinking inside the box.
Mary taught regularly at bead stores and bead shows including Bead & Button and BeadFest. Her projects have been featured in Bead Stringing as well as Step by Step Wire magazine.
In 2020, as it was no longer possible to do in person events, the Bead Me A Story channel on YouTube was started. This channel is updated weekly with new projects available at www.beadmeastory.com
