Bead Jewelry and art design.

Hi my name is Mya, owner of My Art Creations-

I’ve been making jewelry for several years- I started after college when I finally gave myself the time to create just for the joy of it. But Artistic endeavors were never an easy undertaking for me.  After relocating a while ago and picked art up again. I had forgotten all my artistic dreams for quite some time, but I found a new artistic avenue to pursue.  Beading became my way back in: hands-on, detailed, and an endlessly creative way to express myself and a new medium to use. 

 I started by learning patterns, reading everything I could on jewelry making, experimenting, and teaching myself how to bead weave one stitch at a time. 

My first academic introduction to jewelry making was long ago in a course I took my freshman year of college at a Fine Art Museum. It was difficult, I loved the idea, but learning metal smithing felt intense back then—especially without the time or space to really dive in.,

and I knew little about the art.  I let the idea go...

 

I beadweave for several hours at a time if I have an event or occasion to create jewelry.  I make things sometimes for no reason just because I can I start from a few tiny beads and form something tangible.  

I am using my hobby as a way to keep going, and I enjoy designing with stitches and patterns using my own creative direction.   Every piece I make is crafted with intention, imagination, and a whole lot of heart.

I’m especially drawn to using real stones in my creations instead of beads,

because they feel good to hold on to, solid and eternal.
