About Me
- Julie
- St.Paul, Minnesota
- I was taught to bead embroidery about 15 years ago by my sister-in-law, Robin Atkins. Bead embroidery workswell for me because I don't have pressure of rules. I feel relaxed while I bead for that very reason. I've used bead embroidery as a way to handle anxiety, a chronic problem for me. I discovered I love texture. So I took a class in free form peyote, and made some jewelry that I really like. My husband completed his degree in Liberal Arts with a focus in studio arts. As he was learning, I learned a lot from him and discovered how many art forms are out there. We work well together, and collaborate frequently. In last few years, I've gone wild with rubber stamping, collage, altered art and ATCs. It's all sooooo coooool!!!

OF COURSE your felt bag is much MORE AWESOME seen and touched in person, but this is a not-bad picture of it! Nice to see it again!
Love your ATCs. Favorite is "Within Reach" because of the words... it's a very positive spin on everything! So my big question is what's with the beads???? I know they're cut out pieces of paper, not real beads... but what are they from????? They're great!
I get to paint on Tues and Wed next week, with a friend... maybe there will be some ATCs to trade!
Love, Robin
The bag clearly is a lovely piece of art, and I also like the fun ATCs. Not only your BJP pieces, but obviously anything you make is truly "Julie style", which I adore for the ideas, spontaneity, and colours.
Your big fan,
Sabine
