About Us
A Dream Comes True
For dozens of years, I believed that I would enjoy beading, but I never found time to learn the art.
In 2010, I was teaching 9th grade English, Every year, the school gave us more and more students to teach. I realized that I desperately needed a hobby to get my mind away from school and my students, so I was finally motivated to take a beading class.
I fell in love with beading immediately, and started taking a new class every month to learn the various styles of beading. That was when I was introduced to bead-weaving.
Many people ask me how I can have the patience to bead-weave. For me, bead-weaving in not tedious; it is a work of art that unfolds in my hands from my imagination. I love this art!
Connection
Bead-weaving connects me to an ancient line of creative women who used the same types of tools that I do today: needle, thread, beads.
Bead-weaving is an ancient art. The oldest beads found by archeologists were 85,000 years old. While visiting Moscow, Russia, The Russian Historical Museum had a skeleton of a 25,000 year old woman whose forehead still had the bead-woven headdress that she was buried with.
The tactile feel of the various types of beads, the multitude of colors and combinations, and the many styles of beading keep me a active student of this art. I am inspired my Native American, Russian, and American predecessors!
