Interests
Beading, bead craft, glass etching, jewelry design.
I love working with my hands and creating beautiful and unique pieces.
I also love working with others to collaborate on truly special results.
Skills and Techniques
We use quality beads and sturdy wire to hand craft each piece of our jewelry and accessories and shop in a variety of different venues to find unique beads and ideas.
Many of the beads and findings incorporated in our designs are recycled vintage beads that have been carefully cleaned and re-purposed.
This is a terrific way to help keep environmental waste to a minimum and help out the community at the same time since we shop for our vintage materials at places like the Salvation Army where the profits go back into the community.

Gilliauna lives and works in British Columbia, Canada and sells her items both in Canada and the US as well as around the world!
She moved to British Columbia about 8 years ago from Washington state and travels often between the two both for pleasure, leisure and fun as well as to market her designs in crafting venues.
Twist lives in Seattle, Washington and has been friends with Gilliauna for going on 14 years. Like Gilliauna, he's a jewelry designer.
Twist first developed an interest in this art form through his friendship with Gilliauna and has since developed his own techniques and sense of style. Many of his pieces can be found on display along side Gilliauna's in the Bits n Beads by Gilliauna shop here on Artfire as well as on Etsy.
Thanks so much for stopping in to learn a little more about us. We look forward to hearing from you!
Every purchase from Gilliauna comes neatly packaged and perfect for gifting either to yourself or to someone else!
