I
began making beads in 1992 in San Antonio, Tx. I created 1500 handmade
beads, quit my day job and started my business. I designed jewelry
using my beads as focals and traveled the Texas and New Mexico
fair and show circuits. In the late 90's I moved from Texas to
California's Bay Area and began focusing on beads only. From that
point on I have been creating and selling my beads directly from
my studio to designers, boutiques, collectors and online.
My
beads are very unique and offered only a few times
a year or by custom order. Each one is a complete original, using
miniature hand painting and quill techniques on recycled
wood
and dipped in a very special resin that gives a thick glass
like finish and protects the delicate painting underneath.
Sage smudging
and other nice things are given to them to add just that
extra "sparkle" as
they go off on their adventures in the world. They are
offered with love. May they carry their blessings into your
world
and into your designs. There are no other beads like them.
I also
sell my paintings, my painted objects and very
special, hard to find lampwork and glass beads. I want
designers to find
the
beads
that will
set
their
creations apart from the rest and bring them inspiration
for fresh designs.
 
Hand & Quill Painted Beads
I
LOVE beads and have a deep respect for their heritage and mystery.
Each bead has it's own journey and I
love helping designers create their unique visions and welcome
custom orders of all sorts. You can view the white
owl gallery for all of my designs and images of jewelry made with my beads.
Your personized designs begin with an email so just email beads@sw-ink.com and
let's hear your ideas!
