Featured Etsy Seller: Beadworks by Kerri

For a long time now, I’ve been wanting to feature an Etsy seller who sold items made from supplies purchased from me. I’m always fascinated to see what people make after I send them a set of beads. I finally have my chance now with Etsy seller Beadworks by Kerri. She recently contacted me to show me what she made with the light blue flower-shaped beads she had purchased from me (see below). And I’m so glad she did!

Wedgewood Blue Spring Fairy Necklace

I sell a variety of handmade beadwoven and wire wrap jewelry items. I tend to do more beadweaving than anything else because it’s my favorite. Although my biggest sellers are the shawl pins.

What inspires you in your work?
Most of my inspiration comes from the stones themselves. I might have a stone for months or even years before it “speaks” to me and I then start a piece using that stone. Nature has a definite influence on my color and stone choices too.

What other types of art do you make for fun?
I still like to crochet smaller items like neck scarves and I dabble with sewing, cross stitch and scrap booking. I love making scrap books of trips Randy and I have taken.

I’d like to thank all of my customers for supporting the handmade industry.

Right now my work is only available for sale through Etsy, at
www.beadworksbykerri.etsy.com. I’m thinking about putting together a professional website and my dream is to open up a gallery someday.
