These beaded rosettes and a barrette are examples of my current work
I started beading when I was about 16 so it has been awhile. It began with one of those little craft looms and a fascination with Native style designs. Over the years I have experimented with many styles but I still like Native designs best. I have never had a teacher, but my inspiration comes from old things, nature, and things I see in museums. I often sit down to bead a rosette and have no idea what it will look like. Other times I muse on the design for days before I put it on graph paper, and then it still turns out different. I've been selling my work to a leather worker who mounts the rosettes on leather jackets and bags. I also make hand-laced leather apparel and bags, but I am still a beginner at it. For more images, please see my website adahsarts.itgo.com or stay tuned here as I learn to post on this blog.
Have you thought of selling your stuff on Etsy?
ReplyDeleteYes, I've considered Etsy and still plan on signing up there - I will finally have enough to show there soon - Right now I am making some bracelets that are entirely new designs. I will share them soon. Thanks for the suggestion!
