Fort Myers let me tell you about a seasoned artisan who creates beaded jewelry to drool over. Beaded jewelry designs have become much sought after creations and this latest find will have you filling your jewelry boxes.
The Woven Warp is the name of this emporium. The jewelry designs are one-of-a-kind pieces that are artistically hand woven with beads from all over the world in intricate and eye popping, large, chunky designs; which are the artist's forte. Her jewelry is eclectic and colorful, with a lot of personality.
KC Gray Siebert, the creator and owner has been beading since 2005. KC travels extensively finding beads from all over the world and her delight is to have each piece talk to her clients while waking a passion within. According to KC, her one-of-a-kind pieces are so unique, her clientele won't see duplicates coming and going down the street.
Ms. Siebert tells me, “I especially like working with a customer to get to know them and their style and make something special for them.”
KC goes on to assert, “I am a plus size person and don't wear dainty pieces. I like big beads, focal pieces, pieces that tell a story. Oftentimes I name my pieces as they invoke a passion either of the moment or a memory in time.”
Her latest creations are the "Not Your Granny’s Eye Catchers" made with aluminum wire twisted into interesting shapes and incorporating beads and beading techniques.
KC says, “The baby boomers are aging and needing readers ... why not make them fun while they hang around the neck. Not Your Granny’s Eye Catchers eliminates the need for readers in every room of the house!”
Her jewelry creations have also caught the attention of those wearing badges in holders. “I live in the Washington DC area and it is full of government workers who want something fun to doll up their dark suits." She goes on to say, "They caught on and now nurses and teachers are requesting them and a couple of shops are carrying them.”
This pioneer in beaded jewelry designs is contemplating a different direction in 2011 as she intends to explore using silver fusing, soldering, and metal etching while infusing these with her collection of beads.
