All beadwork is from my own designs using a variety of commercially produced glass seed beads sizes 15-4, semi-precious stone beads, fresh water pearls, shell, antique brass sequins and fire-polished & pressed glass beads in sizes 4mm - 12mm. I use both flat and raised beadwork. All work is sewn by hand. The patterns are my own created for each custom piece of work accumulated over the past 15 years. The commercial produced bags feature a custom designed beaded area/panel that is fit for the space of the object being adorned. All the beadwork, is done on a velvet covered pellon base for stability and longevity of the work. All beadwork is completed using bonded nylon, c-Lon or Tex 45 thread. Any construction sewing is completed with artificial sinew for strength and durability.
