You all know I love to bead. Here are some of my favorite bead artists to share with you:
Larkin Jean Van Horn– A friend of my friend, Linda T Minton, I have long admired Larkin’s work. I love her book, which was given to me as a birthday present:
David K. Chatt– he takes beading into the fine art range. Be sure to check out his gallery of beaded sculptures, vessels, jewelry and cast glass.
Robin Atkins– She does bead embroidery improvisationally. One of my all time favorite bead works is her “Rosie, the Uncaged Hen.”
Jeanette Cook– aka Beady Eyed Woman. I have a copy of her first book from way back when. I love her work and how she combines beads and color.
Myra Wood– I enjoy all that Myra does- freeform beading, embroidery, crochet.
Linda T Minton– Linda expresses herself using a variety of mediums, beads being just one. One day, I hope to hang out with her in Texas and just create.
I hope you had a chance to see some exceptional artists that may be new to you. They are all inspiring in their own way.
Regards, Carla
