Beki Haley has been in love with beads since the 1970s. She was introduced to the amazing art form of seed bead weaving by her grandmother when she was a child. Even as a young teen, Beki loved teaching others all the beautiful things that can be created with beads. She has many years of teaching experience in several different venues from large auditorium settings to intimate one-on-one classes and everything in between. Her love of beads led Beki to open her

own bead store, Out On A Whim, in 1986. With her husband, four children, several animals, Beki’s life is complete. Visit Beki at www.WhimBeads.com
