About my "Nom d'E-plume" Joel Parcoeur (jparcoeur)
I never realized how common my name was until the internet made me invent all kinds of clever versions for user names. While working in Lausanne, a pretty Vaudoise once told me that I pronounced my name exactly as if I were saying "by heart" in french. I now use this homonym not as a way of hiding my identity nor to distance myself from anyone, but to uniquely identifying myself in an electronic sea full of Joel Parker's.
Karen Parker's Beading
It took Karen awhile to find a job after our move. She worked part time for a bit at UVM but the interstate commute and her artistic interests led her to try something home based. She is now a full time beader and artist selling her work on Etsy (Wizard Island Designs) and at the occasional craft fair. She has been on the cover of BeadWork Magazine(twice!) and published two ebooks of her patterns with Interweave Press (Brick-Stitching Nature: Charts for Beaded Butterflies, Dragonflies, and a Honeybee and Brick-Stitch Beaded Butterflies: 12 Patterns Inspired By Nature ).
