Introduction

Elysabeth Underhill (Lissa) used to be a working class woman from the mid-late 1500's England. However, she has not had a persona for a while now, and you are as likely as not to see her running arround in early period garb.

A&S

My art is the making of glass beads. While I have made beads from many time periods, much of my focus has been on recreating Anglo-Saxon Glass beads and conducing research on the social meaning and significance of glass beads in that society. With the help of friends, I have also begun researching, reconstructing, and making beads on a period appropriate bead furnace.
