Amy Katz has been a part of the world of seed beads since 1993 as a scholar, trainer and designer. Her admiration for high-end jewellery items is her inspiration. As her dedication to her personal designs grew, Amy made the choice to offer them a advantageous jewellery look utilizing seed beads, crystals, pearls and different elegant supplies. Utilizing creativeness, this imaginative and prescient has come to life as her signature type. Amy is a nationwide trainer with a ardour for sharing her love of the work.

I’m impressed by items of advantageous jewellery. Generally I see precise items in an advert or in a store. At different occasions, concepts a few advantageous jewellery look pop into my head. I’m not recognized for utilizing a large amount of colour in my work. I wish to maintain the look as shut as attainable to advantageous jewellery. My favourite beads on the planet are Delica DB0038 (palladium plate) and Delica DB0031 (gold plate). These are the defining beads of just about all of my items.
My fundamental philosophy is to make use of the most costly supplies you possibly can afford in your items. If you’re going to put within the time to create, use upscale supplies and make the items look nice. It should additionally make them last more. I’d moderately spend money on a couple of costly beads than dozens of cheaper ones that don’t do my items justice.
Whereas seed beads are my past love, I’m additionally beginning to love shrink plastics. The corporate Shrinkets by Julie Haymaker makes an important product that may be a great marriage with seed beads. Each my “Internal Goddess Necklace” and “From One other Planet Necklace” are created with a mix of Shrinkets and seed beads. Shrinkets are simple to make use of and assist you to add a little bit piece of your “artwork” to the work.
