How it's done...

It all begins with you! If you have a desire, an idea...
even a simple drawing of what you'd like portrayed in beadwork, that's the best way to start!

Let Richard know and he can tell Bhavani what you've said
and then she can work with you to refine your idea and work with you.


"The best way I can describe this style of beadwork is that it's like doing mosaic tile work but with glass beads that are smaller than the head of a pin. The most common bead size that I use is a 13 but I have used as small as size 20 and 21's.

'If I can have a picture of what the person wants I can create it' in this art form. Beading is truly 'a lost art', known by only a handful of people, produced by a very few who have learned this art from their elders."

I started learning this craft from my mother at about the age of 5."

Thanks!
Bhavani
