Connie
was the first jewelry artist to inspire me. I have taken classes
from her in San Diego, but you can catch her in Step By Step Wire
magazine.
She sells jewelry, supplies and has tutorials on her website. In
addition she teaches at her studio and around the country. An inspiring
lady!
When I
took a class with Connie, I was lucky enough to meet Eni Oken who was also
taking the class. Eni
is a wire artist extraordinaire. She sells her jewelry and has many
great tutorials on her web site. You may recognize which pieces I
have based on her great teaching.
Jac
designed our banner for us. She is talented and pleasant to work
with. If you are thinking about a professionally designed banner or
business cards, check her site out.
Some of my favorite bead artists~
If you see beads you have
fallen in love with and would like us to create something for you using
that bead or beads, let us know and we will see what we can work out.
I have a small hoard of
Jennifer's beads that I fondle and sometimes put into my jewelry.
She is creative, uses incredible colors and movement in her work. I
only put them in my work occasionally because I love to hold them and
can't bear to part with them!
Terese does not often have
beads for sale on her site. If you are lucky you can find them on
eBay. Her site is full of her great beads though so you should visit
her site if for no other reason than to admire her work. Terese
lives in Germany. (PS. jacDIGITAL also designed Terese's
banner. That is how I found jacDIGITAL.)
Kim was the first glass
artist whose work captured my imagination with her beads. Many of my
jewelry pieces use her beads. She has a great use of color and
detail. She lives in Sacramento, CA.
