Lisa Gastelum first discovered beads when she was a very young girl and she
knew she wanted to do something with them throughout her life. She's been
making her beaded spheres for well over 10 years now.
Lisa is self taught in the art of bead weaving and developed a system to create
these textural rounds, ovals, cylinder, and squares. She meticulously weaves
each bead myself in the traditional gourd stitch and each woven sphere contains
anywhere from 50 - 700 individual seed beads. She creates many of the metal
worked components myself, finding it more and more difficult to locate the exact
commercial part that reflected the look she wanted. So, she decided to start
making her own that convey the aesthetic she desires. She found this so
satisfying - to take the time to make something so simple as a beautifully
designed ear wire - she never stopped.
