Charlotte Holley, B.A., aka Chalaedra, lives near Austin, Texas, with her housemate and business partner, Denise (who helped design many of the early earrings) and their cats; Hanuman, Sandi Phoenix, Izzy, Moxie, Golden Eye, Timothy, Sebastian, Toby and Lakota! They also have two dogs; an old fox terrier, Albert Barkley, and a young pug, Sophia Loren (aka Nutty Brown). Widowed in 1976, Charlotte has a married daughter and two grandchildren.
Born November 7, 1950, Charlotte began beading in 1987 when her daughter brought home a single beaded earring a friend had given her. Not being the type to wear a single earring, but determined there should be at least one thing her teenaged daughter owned that she (the mom!) actually could borrow from her daughter, Charlotte set out to learn how to make the mate to the earring. She bought some beads and quickly "figured out" the design, but it was almost a year before she could find any beads to match the earring. In that length of time, she had created fifty original designs of her own, complete with necklaces, earrings, bracelets, anklets, head ornaments, rings and brooches (obsession, you say?). Needless to say, the mate to that original earring never did get made, but she has had a wonderful time with her beads ever since. And no, she never did return that borrowed earring, just as many of the things her daughter borrowed never got returned -- justice? She has been designing quality beaded jewelry ever since. To check out her designs, go here: Beaded Legends by Chalaedra .
Charlotte also enjoys crochet, drawing, painting, flower arranging, embroidery, cross stitch, writing and all kinds of other handcrafts, although she loves beadwork the best.
Among her other interests are travel, bird watching, music, movies, art, antiques, reading, parapsychology and her grandchildren. In addition to more than 200 patterns, Charlotte has authored and co-authored several full length novels, as well as numerous poems and short stories.
