Anna creates original beadwoven art pieces (both jewelry and home decor) and
showcases them in her Etsy shop, ARoseByName. Her shop name is a tribute to
both the Shakespeare quote and her mother, who was her biggest supporter and
salesperson.
Anna is an artist, a wife, and the mother of two teenage daughters with whom she
first began beading over a decade ago. Through the years, the beads have gotten
smaller and the designs more intricate; and although her daughters no longer
bead, they do enjoy wearing their mother's creations. Inspired by nature - the
ocean, water, and sky - she enjoys beading and finds it to be good therapy for
stress.
If you subscribe to Step-by-Step Beads, or if you happened to pick up the
July/August issue in your local store or newsstand, you would have seen Anna's
Geometric Gemtones even-count peyote bracelet featured in the magazine.
