Get to Know
I started beading and designing Jewelry about 5 years ago. I make beadwoven jewelry with small seed beads by hand (not on a loom). I enjoy this the most, but also make other types of beaded jewelry including strung, wired and knotted. My favorite materials are silver, gold filled and niobium wires, seed beads, crystal beads, pearls and gemstones. Please take a look around my shop. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. Lila Guenther Gilruth Designs www.gilruthdesigns.wordpress.com
