When I was a young girl I loved to knit, crochet but always thought, I wasn’t so creative with other materials as paint, clay. Then I married my boyfriend who is a very creative, problem solver guy who always told me: “You have to try to draw, paint, sculpt before you are saying, you are not good at it!” And I tried different things and I wasn’t so bad after all. But I didn’t feel: as many artist do that: I HAVE TO draw or paint. I felt that something missing, then I found some glass beads in 1999 and stringed my first necklace/bracelet: and I was hooked! I still have those first attempts somewhere on the bottom of a drawer as the first evidence of my incurable addiction! Since I purchased many books, googled new stitches, tried new beading techniques. As you can see under my projects I bead weaved, tried free form peyote, made lots of peytwist patterns and I loved every stitch and every minute of it. My biggest love will always be bead embroidery, because I love to create “landscapes” of beads and components and bezel cabochons. In 2019 I discovered polymer clay and it’s versatile, endless nature to create my own cabochons after my own taste. It’s a great pleasure to experiment with new color/ pattern combinations. I will be happy if someone will love my polymer creations as much as I do and use it in their jewelry projects! So this is my journey so far. Take a look around, maybe you will fall in love too!
All the best and happy beading
