Jewellery by Joanne
Tansi, my name is Joanne Pelletier and I am a retired
teacher, currently living in the village of Lebret . I have been an avid beader for over 30 years
and started making jewelry after participating in a workshop on making quill
and seed bead earrings. This motivated
me to learn more about beaded jewelry and, using how-to-bead books, was soon
was making necklaces, earrings and bracelets.
The first time I attended BeadExpo in Santa Fe , I was inspired by the sheer volume
and variety of gemstone, pearl and designer beads. I also discovered the benefits of on-line
shopping, which makes the high end supplies that I use in my jewellery, readily
available. I began by selling to family,
friends and colleagues, but now that I am retired, I am able to make my hobby a
full time job. One of the things I enjoy
most about designing and making jewelry is the excitement and joy of seeing the
pieces come together, resulting in a distinctive and wearable piece of
art. My jewellery is for that woman that
truly enjoys a lot of bling!!
