Floating Feathers Bead
|
I've loved to make things for as long as I can remember. I draw and paint, I knit and sew and felt. I love fabrics and papers, soft materials and hard, textured and smooth, delicate and strong. I've worked as a film animator, graphics designer, illustrator, textile designer, art teacher, but when I found lampworking and glass
beads I found something that really warms my creative heart. With molten glass in the flame of a torch I pursue my interest in form and color, line and pattern, rhythm and repetition and end up with a kiln full of beautiful beads ready to be taken to the next level of design by being incorporated into jewelry.
Beads are beautiful, evocative, historic, ubiquitous. I love their modular nature and portable size. I love the limitless potential for design and fine craftsmanship in each bead no matter how simple or complex. And I am always inspired to see what other creative people make with the beads they buy from me. Here are some of my favorite focal beads. I also make many simple, beautiful beads which are perfect for earrings, bracelets, necklaces and spacers. Check out my website for more about me: caitlinhyde.com
