Designs by Nance...with beads from the four corners of the Earth
 

I've been doing beadwork for many years as I've lived and traveled throughout the world, and my husband and kids have gotten used to me stuffing our suitcases full of beads every time we visit a new country. What you see here represents a bit of what I do....and lots of different styles. As I've moved around I've taken full advantage of what is around me, and I think you will see that influence in my work. IF you have any questions about my beadwork, please feel free to contact me at familyonbikes@gmail.com My family and I are now out exploring the world on bicycles, so it may take up to a few weeks before I find internet access. But I will be checking e-mail every chance I get!! You can follow along with us on our journey at www.familyonbikes.org
