Statement

I am a bead weaving designer and maker. I have been designing craft hand made pieces in several fields over my life, including silk work, silverwork and enameling. I work privately.  I use various techniques to create 3D or flat pieces of work by sewing beads together one by one. I use  high quality Japanese glass cylinders or round beads. Beadweaving has been used in most cultures over thousands of years and I feel marries well historically and artistically into the Paisley Pattern story..  I intend to design and produce an earring and pendant set framed in a 3d box frame.
