Keeping my eye on you
I love Rebecca Brown’s beadwork and her sense of humor! I love love love the names that she gives to her pieces! I also love the way she combines beadwork with other fiber arts. Her site is well worth a visit with a cuppa.
Rebecca writes that her pieces were woven off-loom or bead embroidered and she specializes in sculptural work. All of her pieces are one-of-a-kinds, and she likes to do personal pieces for clients. Gorgeous stuff!

How do you describe your work?
It’s not easy for me to describe my work because it holds many different things! Though I’m known for my handcrafted wire jewelry, I am a tattoo and henna artist, a painter, and a crafter in the widest sense of the word. For 18 years I’ve read Tarot cards and other oracles. …read more
