The Birds and The Beads

A Heart for Nature, A Hand for Art

Welcome to The Birds and The Beads! This journey, which officially began in January 2024, is deeply rooted in my passion for nature and the belief that beauty doesn't have to come at the expense of our planet. My work merges creativity with sustainability and I find immense joy in championing the art of upcycling, transforming the forgotten into the cherished.

Signature Creations: Upcycled Bird Feeders

​My signature pieces are unique, eco-friendly wild bird feeders crafted from charming vintage and repurposed tea sets. By transforming a delicate tea set into a functional piece of art, I'm inviting both wildlife and a moment of mindfulness into your space. They serve as a daily reminder of the simple elegance we can find when we pause and connect with the world around us.

​

Wearable Art: Jewelry Collection

Beyond the feeders, I pour my creativity into wearable art:

• Beaded Jewelry: Each piece is thoughtfully designed to showcase the unique patterns and natural energy of genuine gemstones. I believe these stones carry their own story, and I love crafting pieces that resonate with yours.

• Real Flower Jewelry: This collection is truly personal. Embracing a "farm-to-table" philosophy, I pick and preserve blooms directly from my own garden to create one-of-a-kind pieces. It's a way to capture and share nature's fleeting beauty.

Driven by Gratitude and Giving

It is a genuine honor and a deep joy to spend my days doing what I love, and I am incredibly grateful to you for taking the time to explore my creations! Giving back is central to my mission. In honor of my mother, an MS warrior, and my father, an Air Force veteran, 10% of all annual proceeds are proudly donated to the National MS Society and the United Service Organizations (USO). When you support The Birds and The Beads, you are also supporting these crucial causes.

 

With heartfelt gratitude,
