Artist Highlight

"An avid beader since 1993, my brick-and-mortar shop, Beadweaver's,  offered Northeastern Pennsylvania the widest range of high quality beads  and beading supplies in the area, along with a selection of  distinctive, handcrafted jewelry, for 13 years.  At the end of 2013 I  was ready for a new challenge.  I closed my shop with the intention of  focusing on my designing.  I have thoroughly enjoyed this transition and  I am looking forward to participating in art shows and selling my work  online for the years to come.
In my booth and online you will find some of my favorite pieces from my  ever-evolving exclusive line of jewelry, handcrafted right here, in  Pennsylvania. I offer a wide range of distinctive jewelry handcrafted  with the finest beads from around the world. My jewelry is made from the  highest quality materials, like vintage & antique components,  precious metals, semi-precious stones, freshwater pearls, Swarovski  crystal, and glass beads.  
I like to mix things up, and blend color and texture with vintage  inspiration and attention to detail, to get a look that is casual,  elegant, and fun. There are not too many techniques I haven’t tried and I  really like to incorporate a range of them into individual pieces.  I  love combining unusual elements like beadweaving with words I’ve stamped  on metal or resin components I’ve made.  But my biggest inspiration  comes from vintage & antique buttons & components that you will  find in many of my pieces…. most of which are 50 to 100 years old, and a  precious few even date back to the 1800s".
