Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Cheyenne Grabiec

I am a beadmaker that specializes in hand-rolled heishi and tabs. I create both traditional and contemporary style necklaces and earrings. I utilize natural turquoise, a variety of shells, and other stones. My signature style is creating pieces entirely of black Jet and utilizing a black cotton wrap. On traditional pieces I add a signature bead which I make by inlaying a piece of coral into a turquoise tab. On my contemporary necklaces I hand fabricate my own silver cones to compliment my handmade beads.
