Dorothy Wood
Dorothy Wood was a writer and devoted mother and wife who passed away peacefully in Los Angeles on March 25, 2025, due to cancer[1]. She is also known as a Jewellery Designer and author of 'The Beating Bible' and the resource book 'The Beady Binder'[2]. Some sources incorrectly attribute a 1601 birth date and an extensive handicrafts bibliography to her, which appears to be a confusion with another figure[3].
