Sherrill is an award-winning designer of bead-embellished items, bead-woven tapestries, distinctive beaded jewelry and artwork, and cloth dolls. She has been beading since the 1980s, becoming a professional in 1994. A Bead Elf (pattern proofing and model making) for Suzanne Cooper in Second Looks and Far Away Places; and Valerie Hixson in Blooming Beads, her work has also appeared in Fire Mountain Gems' catalogs (1999, 2000), Beadwork magazine, and The Crafts Report (July 2003). Since 2003, when she began following the quilt show circuit, Sherrill has spoken to and given short beading demonstrations at shows in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Colorado, and Louisiana; has taught workshops in Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas; and upcoming classes in other states. A resident of Stillwater, OK, she teaches at Multi Arts Center, and at her home-based studio.

Wacky Wire-Haired Dancing Doll Pin & Earrings
Presented by Sherrill Lewis
Class fee: $20 Kit fee: $20

Bad hair day? Rejoice in it! This wacky doll pin is as individual as you are: sublime or sassy, funky or fun, or somewhere in between. Make the pin in class and then wear her on your jacket, your hat or your tote. She’ll make you smile and generate comments from your friends. Matching doll earrings complete the laissez-faire attitude. (That’s French, loosely translated for “Who Cares?)
