Featured Designer Debbie Van Pelt - Bead & Bling Creations
Where: Oxnard, CA, USA https://www.facebook.com/BriellasBows/ How long have you been designing? Started as a hobby about a year ago, but I started to take myself more seriously as a designer about 8 months ago. What's inspires you? Nature and raw textiles. I like looking at objects that provoke a thought process. This often leads to inspiration for a new design piece. Textures and design elements of a previous piece and the incredible designs by my fellow artisans provide inspiration as well. This business can be tough, what motivate you? This business is indeed tough! Designing and making jewelry is such a creative outlet for me. I enjoy making items that bring joy to others. It is very rewarding and that in itself is a great motivator. Favorite technique? Wire wrapping hands down. I recently started working with wire wrapping exploring the different types of wire that create textures and design. It is like working with a piece of clay. Each piece is unique and often inspired by the lines of the incorporated focal point. What's your favorite trend this season? Nature-based, upcycled and statement jewelry are trends I am most excited about. Creating unique pieces using natural and raw materials is a plus for the buyer, the seller and most of all the environment. Using upcycled materials not only creates memories for the recipient, it can also provoke a memorable time and place in a person's life. Statement pieces often bring about conversation and positive interaction. I guess I would say that jewelry artisans provide unique statement pieces in each design they create. How would you describe your style? I don't think I have found my style as a jewelry artist and designer. I think I'm still trying to find myself honestly. I am still experimenting with different types of beads, crystals, gemstones and metals, not to mention the various techniques that can be used to create a unique one-of-a-kind piece.
