From My Studio: Offering Specialized Components For Your Designs!!!
After many years of exhibiting at trade shows and writing step by step tutorials for bead publications, I decided to open the Aria Design Studio Supplies Shop in March 2013.
Beaders not only at trade shows, but through emails, contacted me about their difficulty in finding special beads and components I used in my work. Some of the components I used, although widely available, were difficult to find in the color combinations I design in without having to seek out several sources. This is why I decided to build a specialty supply shop here on Etsy.
Over the years, I have been fortunate to build friendships with key bead manufacturers, distributors and suppliers through the various design projects I've worked on. This was especially true when I wrote my two books, Bead Romantique and Bead Metamorphosis. I was also selected to be one of four Designers of the Year for Beadwork Magazine in 2009.
Everything in my shop is hand selected by me personally. These are the same beads and components I love to use in my own designs. My design aesthetic is vintage, elegant, romantic and classy with historical inspirations (Medieval, Renaissance, Edwardian, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, etc.)
I hope you enjoy visiting my shop.
Thank you for stopping by...
