Beads are COOL
As a yung Chey I saw my mom crafting and beading and it's a way I reconnect with her spirit and have fun :) My mom was always encouraging in my art so - I do this for her and myself!
These are tiny pieces of art created with my imagination and hand skills - they are unique, one of a kind and timeless. I often use rare beads and precious metals. You'll never go a day without a compliment when you wear my Bead ARTwork - just like the nails I've created.
Handmade bead ARTwork takes a lot of time and care, I appreciate the process!
Materials:
Hooks/Levers/ - 14k gold filled handmade or 925 sterling silver
I primarily work with myuki japanese seed or delica beads but appreciate a toho here and there.
I am a collector of vintage handmade beads. Many are from the 1920's, 30's etc - These beads are extra special and each one varies in size, I pick the most uniform ones for my pieces, this is a process in itself. Sometimes you may see the differences. Time is weird and cool - I like that they are unique and the different process of making them by hand. They are very rare and precious. Keep them out of sunlight, water, chemicals and they can last for 100's of more years!
I bead for durability but all pieces are handmade so handle and care for them appropriately. Don't throw them in your pocket without a cover, keep away from water, direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Care for the metals appropriately but never saturate your beadwork in anything.
For the best care make sure to hang them after wear. Fringe likes to "hang out" and "relax"
At the moment I can not do custom work due to school!
