When you visit Dawn's Etsy shop you'll see that her banner says "Colorful
Everyday," an apt description of Dawn's work. Colorful Everyday is the creative
product of a hobby gone wild! Dawn has always enjoyed making things and
creating with her own hand, and her beading journey began with simple stringing
of seed beads while her two children were at the pool. In her quest to learn more,
Dawn read every magazine and book she could find. Eventually, peyote stitch
took over and she realized that her boundaries were unlimited. Her peyote stitch
pieces are colorful, fun, and whimsical. They're often freeform and are meant to
be worn with a light heart.
Dawn is constantly trying new ideas and color combinations. She recently began
creating pieces using bead embroidery, and it's quickly become a favorite
technique. Dawn frequently uses discarded and unexpected items in her
beadwork, as the love of old things and tiny beads inspires her to create
beadwork that is wearable with today's lifestyle. Discarded pieces of china,
buttons, and broken jewelry have been repurposed, recycled, reinvented and
salvated using tiny seed beads of color to create interesting wearable art.
Dawn describes herself as fun, funny, caring, inquisitive, determined, creative,
flexible, patient, and flamboyant. She's married to a great guy who encourages
her creative endeavors. Together they have two teenagers and a St. Bernard, all
sharing an historic home in Georgia.
