Miriam Shimon
Cielo Design
It's almost unbelievable that Miriam has been beadweaving for just over a year!
She's mostly self taught, excited by the endless possibilities of creating elaborate
designs from simple beads and applying old techniques to new innovative designs.
She has a strong passion for intricate patterns with lots of sparkle and drama;
and she loves being inspired by new materials, textures, and colors and the pure
beauty of transforming them into jewelry that is art.
Miriam's first experience with beads was when she was 12 years old when her
mother gave her a seed bead kit for her birthday. It would be many years before
she picked it up again, but once she did she never looked back. She resides in
Israel, where she handstitches her unique designs one by one.
