Do you offer custom work?

Yes! Every piece is unique so please contact me to work out the details.

Will you make a tutorial of this piece?

No. My primary focus is the creation of new artworks. My tutorials are few and far between, and if I haven’t already made one for the piece you have in mind, I most likely will not.

How do I learn more about geometric beadwork?

I started with the book “Little Bead Boxes” by Julia Pretl and I still direct people to her to this day. Diane Fitzgerald has a couple books on geometric beadwork in particular, and the Contemporary Geometric Beadwork project is a messy, but totally open source and endlessly fascinating font of inspiration and ideas.

In March of 2025 I received a Creative Individuals Grant from the MN State Arts Board specifically to teach basic geometric beadwork, and to begin a YouTube channel dedicated to providing free, instructional videos on geometric beadwork. These will be forthcoming later in 2025, and early 2026. I recommend signing up for my newsletter to stay on top of my progress.

I also started a Patreon in March of 2025 that currently offers some basic patterns and kits on a monthly or quarterly basis. This was meant to work in tandem with the beadwork classes and videos, providing practice patterns for the techniques learned.

How do I care for beadwork?

Beadwork is sturdier than it appears, and a small drop shouldn’t damage it. It shouldn’t be tugged on or squeezed, as that will cause beads to break.

The thread used is monofilament and waterproof. A light dusting with a damp washcloth is sufficient to clean dusty beads. Excessive rubbing will cause the finish on some of the beads to wear off.

Store beadwork out of direct sunlight, as some colors can fade over time in the sun.

What if my beadwork becomes damaged?

I can repair almost any damage that might happen over the course of one of my sculpture’s natural life. Please save any beads that fall off if you can and email me detailed pictures of the damage. Once I have an idea of the scope of the damage we can discuss a fee for repairs and shipping.
