Hi Everyone!
Today I want to introduce to you a very good friend and an amazing bead artist. Dini Alves. She is such an inspiration not just in beads but in all art and as a wonderful woman. I love her use of color and designs. She makes me miss beading more than I can say.
In her own words

Born in Cleveland, Ohio - moved to California many decades ago. My
portfolio is diversified: macrame, weaving, quilting, graphics,
publishing, ceramics, yarn works, beading, major volunteering
activities... my work benefits from each and every turn in my life. I am
a self-representing artist and I live with my hubby and 2 dogs in the
forests of southern Oregon. We travel extensively and I enjoy learning
from other cultures about their arts and crafts. I believe we are
products of all that we experience in life.
I am primarily and currently a bead artist, a "beadologist"; a
multi-media artist who brings color, texture and originality to each
individual creation. Working often with unique embellishments, I
consider my work new and constantly evolving. The pieces are truly
collectible objects d'art for the discerning connoisseur. I continue to
expand my ability for expression through many medias, using them in
harmony with each other. Truthfully, I enjoy any art that pushes the
envelope ~ I endeavor to follow that path with my own work. I adhere to:
"Thinking Out of the Box". Always looking for that next challenge, I
continually ask myself "...what if?" I invite you to own and enjoy a
multi-media art piece from Beadazzled of Oregon and we'll walk on the
cusp of a new exploration together!
Each unique design creation is a one-of-a kind, wearable, enjoyable
piece of artwork and is a product of my own passions. May it bring you
the same peace and joy that creating did for me ~ Enjoy!
P.S. Maybe you have some special personal or family momento ~ let's use
them in a unique piece in your own chosen colors made especially for
you. It could be a wall hanging, jewelry piece or any one of the other
multi-media concoctions that I put together! Contact me anytime and
we'll get started ~ ...with gentle spirit.
