I am Spirit Beader. I have a tendency to create everything that inspires me. I have a passion for beading!
I CAN BE AN INSTRUCTOR AT YOUR BEAD SHOP OR YOUR HOME I have instructed 2-3 hour classes at the Beading Paradise in Terre Haute, Indiana, and currently teach custom classes to those who ask me. I charge $15 per hour for my instruction, and I will teach you anything you need to know about beading- except for beaded crochet. (I just can't figure it out!) I CAN TEACH YOU the following stitches: Peyote Freeform Peyote Herringbone Right-Angle-Weave Beaded Netting The tubed version of any of these stitches Brick Stitch Beaded Beads Fringe Bead Applique- applying beads to fabric I CAN ALSO TEACH YOU Clasps- how to use crimp beads to create a professional look Wireworking- wrapped loops, wire clasps, links, wrapped beads and pendants Amulet Bags or Beaded Bags Polymer Clay- scupltured beads, Mokume Gane, canework, applying canework, beautiful pendants Bookmaking- covers and different stitches Scrapbooking- handmade cards using what you have! I will go to your home, or you can come to my home. Right now I am looking for beadshops in the Chicagoland area to instruct at, and students of any age! I know a bit of Spanish, but English speaking students are preferred.
I CAN DESIGN BANNERS, AVATARS AND LOGOS FOR YOU I have have been a graphic designer for four years now with a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design and I have a lot of experience with logo design, creating graphics for stationary, letterheads, business cards, and all sorts of marketing materials like postcards, mailers and flyers, coupons and gift certificates. I have designed hundreds of paper and web items for all kinds of businesses, well known and not. I guarantee you'll get the quality out of the design that you need when you want to print it. If you are interested in having me design for you, you can look at more of my work at www.myspace.com/spiritbeads in my Pics (you need to be logged into myspace as a member)
I CAN CUSTOMIZE ART, REPAIR EXISTING ART AND TAKE NEW ORDERS if you see something you would like in a different color, in a different shape, something altogether completely different, please contact me at spirit.beads.art [!at] gmail.com!
If you have a comment or a question about my art, or you want to be a beading buddy, email me!
All of my items are totally original, and genuine- a result of pure creativity and motivation. I create beaded art, polymer art and paper creations of all sorts, one of which is my nifty little Tazo tea journal!
