The materials and techniques used in the artworks that I create include incorporating the two needle appliqué technique and a variety of bead textures and styles. The beads I use are sourced from various people around the world such as vintage seed beads, 24k gold beads, sterling silver beads, and other high quality beads. Other materials that are utilized are different types of leathers and gold plated or silver plated metal findings. Jewelry designs are made out of rough drafts that have taken years to create and build off of and each step of the creative process is carefully and meticulously planned.
