Combining techniques is a sure fire way for unique designs. But Colombian artisan, Claudia Fajardo, a talented artist unusually combines metal work with bead work. The result is a boldly colored collection with a contemporary look. Claudia says she likes her designs to showcase geometry and natural shapes.
