Class Instruction and Beaded Jewelry
Believe it or not, Aunt Jewelry has just celebrated it's
third birthday! I feel so fortunate to have had the support
of family, friends, and students during the challenges
and changes I have faced. A huge thank you to
everyone, I count you all as blessings.
Here's some background on me: My name is Julie, yet I
go by Aunt Jewelry now (thanks to my niece and
nephew). When I'm not working as an elementary
school teacher, I am teaching bead classes. From the
day I learned my first bead weaving design I realized I
was hooked! I started teaching bead weaving classes in
2002. I have taught in Corpus Christi and now offer
classes out of my home in Boerne, Texas.
Although I am trained in many jewelry mediums, my
preference is to work with seed beads. I enjoy taking
those small tubes of beads and creating wearable art. I
use only glass beads and metal findings in my jewelry.
Yes, even those teeny tiny beads are made of glass!
During the process of creating directions for my classes,
I make bracelet after bracelet to test them. That means
I've got LOTS of jewelry in boxes around the house. So
I've decided to offer those items for sale here. Most, if
not all, are designs from classes I currently teach or
patterns I plan to sell.
Many of my students have requested that I sell my
patterns online. I create the directions myself so they are
oriented to the way I teach in class. Most students find
that after completing a few of my classes, they have the
confidence to work directly from my patterns. My
directions are loaded with visuals that are easy to
follow...probably the result of working with those 7 and 8
year olds for so many years! Fine tuning the directions
to the point I am satisfied is very time consuming.
Therefore, each set of directions is slowly, but
eventually, being offered for purchase on the website.
I feel so fortunate to be able to do the two things I love
most in life...teaching and beading! Thank you for
stopping by.
If you have any questions or would just like to get in
touch, please feel free to contact me. I'd love to hear
from you!
