Making...
 My absolutely amazing new studio space!
Bracelet Luv reconnects beads with their histories and creates wearable pieces of art in the process making hand-beaded leather wrap bracelets.
My love for hand-work was home grown. I spent long hot summers with my grandmother in a tiny farm town in central Illinois. Together we traveled from farm to farm visiting grandma’s female friends. The women shared their stories and what they made, a garment, a pie, a beautiful batch of garlic dill pickles, they were ceaseless makers and proud of their work. Today in that same tradition of ceaseless makers, I hand weave leather wrap bracelets using vintage & re-purposed beads, semi-precious & natural stone, crystal, handmade & hand-carved beads, freshwater pearls, ethnic beads & any other beautiful bead that's awesome. Traveling to art shows is good for my inspiration and creativity, it's good for my wanderlust, my spirit and my soul. It's a win-win-win. |
A very happy me in my new studio space.
