There is an endless array of beads and bead sellers around the world. But vendor don’t often know the people who make the beads or the process behind it.
I worked for years to find vendors who pay fair trade and care about the people and places in the world where their beads are made.
For my wood beads I found a wonderful supplier who works with a family in the Philippines. They have been creating wood beads for 30 years - cutting, turning and polishing the beads by hand. When you see these beads in person you can really see the difference from what you might get in a craft store.
When you support me, you support my great vendors and the wonderful artists who make my beads as well.
