Hi! I'm Anna, the maker behind Beads in Bloom. I started Beads in Bloom in 2020, making daisy chain bracelets and anklets. A few years later, I learned new beading techniques and fell in love with using smaller seed beads to make more intricate, floral-inspired designs. Much of my inspiration comes from the outdoors - the beautiful art that mother nature provides. I especially love recreating wild flowers with beads, to create blooms that last forever.
Every bead is strung by hand, using techniques with a deep history. My beadwork has significant roots from a variety of indigenous cultures, but has primarily evolved from techniques of the Wixárika people. I create with gratitude for those who came before me and developed the beadwork techniques that inspire me today. It takes time to create, but for me it is time well-spent.
Beyond the beads, I am a mom, a geologist by training, and someone who finds joy in the little things - the perfect cup of coffee, the warmth of the sun on my skin.
