 "I
am intrigued by beads. For centuries, most every culture has produced
beads for different purposes from a variety of locally-available
materials. Beads have rich historical and sociological significance to
complement their great beauty and decorative value. In my work, I
strive to combine old and new, spanning continents and time to create
unusual, wearable art that takes on new meaning for its wearer. I enjoy
exploring different bead sources, materials, textures and colors. Thus
far, I have focused on natural stones, new and vintage glass, steel-cut
beads from the 19th century and silver. The pieces in this gallery are
representative of my work, though I'm constantly creating new designs,
too." |

| It's a
gallery... and a store! Many Gallery items may now be purchased online. Payments are handled quickly and securely by PayPal. And if you don't see exactly what you want, fear not. Many pieces can be customized for you--different length, other beads, alternative findings. Or you can work with Julie to create something entirely your own. Custom orders are handled via e-mail (rather than via the PayPal shopping cart). Just drop a note to Julie Siegmund with your requirements. Shipping and tax information |
