Hi!  I'm Carol Cavanaugh, designer/instructor/chief bottle washer 

at No Rules Design Studio, LLC.  

​

I'm a chainmaille geek and beading adventurer.  I love to explore design and color, always wondering "What would happen if...?"  It is my mission in life to spread the wonder of finding your inner creative self by throwing away the rules and  just playing. 

 

Start with a tutorial or seminar, or even a pile of beads and/or jump rings, and see just where

"what if" takes us.  Onward!

**************************************

After many years designing and teaching at my local bead shop,

Beads On Parade in Fredericksburg, Virginia, 

I am now sharing my love of chainmaille and beading jewelry

with a wider audience.  

​

I cannot thank the owner of Beads On Parade, Wendy Adamczyk, 

nearly enough for the wonderful opportunity she afforded me to grow

my designing wings at her now closed shop.  

​

Thank you, Wendy, a great boss and a greater friend.
