My last feature focused on her amazing "Until I Can Breathe Again" peyote necklace shown again below. She explained :
This design got me through a rough patch in my life and now I just chuckle to myself cause I'm breathing just fine. "A man who makes you cry just isn't worth your tears."
She also has a delightfully short shop bio :
I started beading. I can't stop. End of story.
Lucky for us she can't stop because she has designed dozens of lovely tutorials. Very noticeable is her large collection bracelets and bangles. One of my favorites is the house bangle above, inspired by a knitted blanket designed by Margaret Holzman. It was a very popular design back when we had to stay at home.
Check out her shop and you can see why I found it so hard to pick just these few examples!

Gorgeous work!
ReplyDeleteHer designs are absolutely breath taking. I feel pressed to make a comment that shouldn't be construed as a criticism of her work which is beyond praise. For years, I have continued to run into the problem that I find patterns that are something that I would love to make, but finding the beads becomes frustrating because not all the beads are found at the same site and you end up with excess beads which are useless. I wish that designers would bite the bullet and start furnishing kits. I understand that the kits may be more expensive than getting them on your own, but I am more than willing to pay the price to avoid the confusion.
ReplyDeleteKits are a good idea but as you say, that's a large investment on the part of the designer and kits may not suit some.
DeleteWow Pearl - Thanks for featuring the work of Shelley Nybakke. Her sense of color is remarkable, and her designs are so original. I love her work, and I always look forward to reading your emails. Thank you for all the work you put into this blog. Happy Beading to All.
