Share Your Background
When and how did you begin making jewelry/beading?
Beading more than 13 years, I accidentally saw on TV a beaded Easter egg and wanted to make something for myself. I do my best in combination with different techniques and combinations of materials. Most of my work is never planned. I do as I feel.

Beading Success
If you used jewelry-making as a way to bring in income, how are you selling yourself and your jewelry?
Beading is my biggest hobby. It does not bring me any income. All of my work usually goes to my friends as gifts.
Do you participate in any charity fundraisers?
I did participate in a charity fundraiser project for the Bead and Button show, "Alice in Wonderland." It was great pleasure, the tree I made for the project was entirely unique of its own composition and method of sewing the leaves and brush. I think it was one of my best works.
Any advice for aspiring jewelry-artists?
Never be afraid of fixing the work, keep trying until the result will inspire you to do more and be the strictest critic for yourself. |
