Beaded Jewelry and Art Dolls

Bead Jewelry

All of my designs are original. My bead embroidery is done on Lacy's Stiff Stuff and ultra suede. While I prefer bead embroidery above all else, you will find a variety of off-loom techniques used in the jewelry that is not bead embroidered. I like sculptural peyote stitch and right angle weave, and occasionally ndebele and spiral stitches will appear. I use Japanese seed beads and delicas and Czech seed beads. I love using vintage elements like rhinestones, nailheads and sequins in my pieces and I love pearls, shells and stones. I do take commissions and would love to make you a wearable work of art.
Shipping and insurance will add $5.
