Hi, I'm Sonja.
Beads, in their many different forms, are a wonderful material to work
with, and to combine in any number of ways. The various colours,
materials and forms are an inspiration in themselves. I have learned by
observing and experimenting, taking tips from cultures across the world
in their diverse styles as well as colour combinations.
I have found that creativity is not learned, but rather expressed
through a chosen medium, and the more you express your creativity, the
further it evolves. Expressing creativity begins when you’re a child,
just beginning to explore all your faculties and the world around you.
So for me, it all began in a sand pit with water from the garden hose,
‘divining’ endless shapes, mashing, smashing, recreating and decorating
for many a blissful, innocent summer’s day in a tiny garden looking out
onto a beach with flamingoes.
It is a gift to me, to make things which are in turn gifted to others.
Thank you for supporting local.
