Welcome to I Dream of Beading! (A take on "I Dream of Genie". I know, a little corny...but hey, it's catchy and I do literally dream of beading.) My name is Rita and I currently make jewelry as a hobby, but hope to turn it into a business in the future. I've been making jewelry for many years, but never looked past stringing and other simple techniques until recently. I discovered the world of peyote, brick stitch, herringbone, square stitch, etc and haven't stopped beading since! I've also started working with wire and fabric. I am self taught through magazines and the internet. Right now I consider myself a sort of Jill of all trades. I can't box myself into one single category of style. My pieces are varied, although I do find myself gravitating towards "in your face" designs. I love spikes, vibrant colors, lots of sparkle, and dimension. One of my favorite things to do is look for random items around the house to create jewelry out of. I'm open to any technique and try to think outside of the box. Rings, beaded balls/beads, and pendants are my favorite items to create.
In my next post I'll tell you a little about myself personally and what influences me.
