  New Beading Techniques from Needle Art Inspirations

Nancy challenges the notion that beads can add only mere “sparkle” to needlework.  Instead she explores, invents, and employees beading processes that serve as primary design elements on her textile art.  As a self proclaimed “Certified Beadaholic” she tends to view the world through “beady eyes”.

Frequently drawing upon our global needlework heritage when developing and creating her original art, Nancy asks the question “What would that particular needle art technique look like as a beading process?”  Through endless experimentation she has transformed Japanese Sashiko, Victorian Crazy Quilt stitches, Native American beading stitches, Needlepoint, and Embroidery into new innovative beading processes.  


 


  Antique Beaded Bags

Antique beaded bags are popular with collectors of art, antiques, and beadwork. Explore the history of beaded bags circa 1820’s-1950’s. A collection of 50+ beaded bags will be documented with slides and research information. You will accumulate clues in identifying the date of these beaded treasures as you examine the progression of bag styles; patterns, motifs, frames, and the diverse beading techniques employed in the construction process.
