Harriet Newman

My latest work I have taught myself to bead with two needles. I usually draw my design first, depending on the materials. I�m also known for beading free hand, meaning I would bead with no drawing and directly onto the material. I use a variety of beads collected over the years, some are vintage and some are rare. I draw from inspiration of pictorial or geometrics or a combination of both.
