Beads Jewelry Designs Biography

Source (google.com.pk )
Born and raised in southern California, I spent summers with my grandmother in the mountains of Idaho, and traveled every year to the east coast to visit relatives. From National Parks across the U.S., museums and national monuments in the East and art projects learned in the back seat of a car, I have had a wide variety of influences in my life. Moving to Boise, Idaho in 1972 and graduating from Boise State University with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, I have worked in law enforcement, state government and the corporate world before opening one of the first bead stores in Boise in 1990.
In addition to opening Bead Street, I was one of the founding members of the Boise Bead Society. I took my first 'official' beading class from Alice Korach - long before she started (and became the first editor of) Bead and Button magazine. Over the years, I have taken classes from other charter members of the bead industry and the innovators of other artistic techniques.
    Beading classes from Diane Fitzgerald and Marcie Stone.
    Polymer clay from Pier Voulkos, Tory Hughes, Sarah Shriver, Lindly Haunani and Celie Fago
    Fused Glass and lampwork bead making from Donna Milliron (pate de verre), and Stephanie Sersich
    Precious Metal Clay from Celie Fago, and Art Clay from DeDe Mandrel
    Raku beadmaking from Mary Klotz from ForestHeart Studios in Maryland
    Enameling from Pam East of Pinzart Resin and cold connections from Susan Lenart Kazmer
    Wire from Lynn Merchant and Sharilyn Miller
In addition to bead collecting, jewelry designing, and teaching, my other hobbies include watercolor and acrylic painting, quilting, gardening and bird watching. In the last few years I have been able to fulfill a lifelong dream of traveling to Europe beginning with the Czech Republic (where I got to see the bead manufacturing process), Rome, Florence and Cortona, Italy and last year to Paris.
I have been on the leading edge of the bead world my entire life and it is very exciting, and I am honored, to be able to continue that journey with Starman Inc, TrendSetter Group.

Jewelry design is my passion. I have created many forms of jewelry, sold, taught, and published numerous articles in magazines and booklets. My primary goal is to share my passion with others by teaching and selling items. Bead weaving of all kinds allows me to create a wide range of jewelry. I work with all kinds of beads in the process. In addition, I sometimes wander to other art forms. But mostly is it jewelry that captures my busy hands.

I am completely and unabashedly addicted to beading. I'm wife to "Mr. Selfless" and part-time, home school mom to two remarkable boys (no, I'm not biased)! I also provide 24 hour bellhop service to my Golden Retriever and farm kitty. In my spare time, I can be found with a cup of tea, a chick flick in the DVD player and a tray full of sparkly beads waiting to be created into a little piece of joy. This is so much more cathartic than folding laundry!
Beyond that, I love the Lord and am grateful for the beauty He created around us. Showing this in the form of jewelry and sharing it with others is what I love.
I started making jewelry in 2009 because I really needed an indoor "girly" hobby. We'd just moved to a farm in Idaho and the weather didn't agree with my "delicate disposition". In other words, I'm a complete wimp when it comes to cold, windy weather. Trying to garden in a zone 2-3 didn't help either. I quickly found out that beading and I were like "peas and carrots". I just loved everything about it. I enjoy the process of beading as well as the result. It's a journey where learning is always happening, techniques are constantly refined, and creativity reigns. I'm amazed by the vast diversity of materials that are out there and what can be done to make beautiful designs.
With the prompting (a gentle kick in the rear) of several artists and beading enthusiasts, I started sharing my designs and doing a little teaching, too. More of my little hobby can be seen on my blog, www.pennydixondesigns.com.
Svetlana Einy
Olam Shel Charuzim, Israel
Svetlana Einy was born in the beautiful naturalistic place of Russia - in South Siberia. It's a very picturesque place. It is so beautiful blue lakes and rivers, snow and rocky mountains, green valleys, blue sky... More over the nature changes it's colors through all the seasons, so you can't stay apathetic to it. Definitely my birth place gave me a lot of inspiration to my art works.
Today I live in Israel, it's another beautiful place in the world. So , I am very inspired from this country too : first - middle east, then - a large number of cultures and finally - SSS ( sea, sun and sand).
My story of beading is even more interesting then the one's of my birth and living places. I met my future husband in the bead store. Since I have a lot of love to beading and to my family. I have been beading for 8 years. During these years a lot of my dreams came true and not only with beading as we have two little boys too.
During these years I learned a lot about beading, I have participated in the "Create Your Style " with Swarovski components competitions twice and have been included into semi finalists section both times.
Now I enjoy working at our bead store in Israel. I like to design new pieces of art from all types of beads. I like to mix different kinds of beads in my jewelry : Swarovski crystals, Czech lass beads, Japanese beads, semi - precious stones, leathers, metals and others....But most of all I like to work with the new shapes of beads an to create a new designs with them....
I make classes at our bead store every day. I teach jewelry design and different techniques of beading. Our bead store's name is "The World of Beads", so I take my students to another world - to the world of beads. Here, I believe, every one can bead, and every design is possible!
I hope to bead and design new jewelry art pieces for years and will make help to make our design dreams come true!
   I've always had a passionate, insatiable desire to artistically create, be it cooking, tailoring, flower arranging, drawing, singing, and since 2009, jewelry designing. The more time and ways I find to blend these gifts together, the more it lights my fire and soothes my soul.
As a child, I grew up under the tremendous influence of 4-H and wonderful parents that were leaders. I learned to create/sew my own clothes, grow flowers and vegetables, plan and cook meals, bake bread and other goodies, milk and show dairy cows, appreciate all animals, and work with people of all ages. As an adult I’ve continued to participate in creative contests such as the nationally held Make It Yourself with Wool Contest, where contestants tailor a wool outfit, accessorize and model it, answer questions about the processes used in making it, and have the outfit judged for proper construction techniques. in my current area has enabled me to connect with a plethora of amazingly talented artists, whose works inspire me greatly. The beauty of the area and the wealth of exquisite natural materials also inspire me to create. I love beautiful things from nature and enjoy working with their subtle textures and colors. But I also can’t resist the vivid colors, energy and sparkle of crystals, and I often incorporate them into my work as well.
I GET to work with beautiful stones, metals, woods, crystals, pearls, beads, and join them all together in creative, artistic ways.
Add a glass of wine to all that, and it just doesn't get any better!
I hope you enjoy my work, and you feel the love and joy I put into my pieces.

My beading adventures started about 8 years ago when my friend Kathy and I wandered into a craft show. We came across people who had made bracelets on elastic and were selling them. We decided we could do that also. Little did we know what awaited us. My first love was gemstones. I dabbled a little in seed beads, but liked stringing. Somehow, those little seed beads have gradually taken over and now that is mainly what I work in. I am retired and live in Idaho Falls, Idaho, with my husband, Larry. He is very patient and hardly ever complains when he vacuums up seed beads.
