What started as a handful of classes in beaded jewelry grew quickly into a lifelong passion for beadwork, and eventually manifested in the stunning, full-length, all-bead garments that Gail creates today. Lady Gaga wore one of her designs on the cover of "Cheek to Cheek," her recent collaboration album with Tony Bennett, but its Gail's latest project that has been turning heads all over the globe: Fantasy, the world's largest beaded wedding gown.
