July 2024 Bead of the Month: Everyday is a Magical Moment

July 2024 Bead of the Month

About the Artist:
"Years ago, I apprenticed as a goldsmith in the Caribbean. Here, I found an appreciation of jewelry and wearable art. Over the years, I have been fortunate to study other techniques that include flameworked glass, fusing, precious metal clay, bead weaving, knitting, wire working, and braiding. In 1998, I started Beads by Design, a retail bead store in Georgia, where I have been able to share much of this knowledge with others providing them with the skills and materials to fulfill their creative quest." - Gerry White

Artist inspiration:
"For this fantasy-themed bead, I designed a bead with a magical wand. Having a wand in your hands can give you the feeling of encouragement and power that can help you complete any goal." - Gerry White
