Using a needle and beading thread and one tiny glass bead at a time, this is my contemporary take on the age-old tradition of off-the-loom bead-weaving. I’m fascinated with how supple the beaded fabric is when woven with round seed beads, but also how, when using tubular beads, you can create 3-dimensional and self-supporting structures, which I form into wearable art jewellery and accessories.
I love designing in black and white with a splash of red but I have begun exploring other colour combinations.
