GET TO KNOW THE DESIGNER

Hi, I am Erika. I am the founder and the creative leader of Beadingschool.

I’ve always felt a deep need for self-expression. Originally, I wanted to be a writer or a linguist; however, the stress while studying for my final exams at university brought beads into my life, and these little pieces of glass never left since then. It was more than a decade ago…

Beading became not only my hobby but my passion, my life, my quest. When I see the happy faces of my students or read their e-mails and posts, I know that designing and teaching beadwork is where I can bring the biggest possible dose of happiness, and this is where I can use my skills and experience in the best possible way.

A lot has happened since the first beads appeared on my bead mat, and nowadays, I am sharing my passion for beading at Beadingschool.com, together with an awesome Team. Get to know us better here!

Our Beadingschool Team is taking exquisite care of your precious bead orders and brings you inspiration, interesting articles about beads, techniques, fellow designers, and more.

ABOUT THE EBLOUISSANTS EARRINGS

The French word “éblouissants” translates to “dazzling” or “blinding” in English. It is used to describe something that is so bright, beautiful, or impressive that it captures attention and leaves one in awe – just like these earrings after I created the first motif.

We are going to bezel three different shapes of cabochons – round, oval and pear – using the square stitch. We’ll learn how to connect and decorate them, while giving the design a balanced look. These earrings are meant to shine through a nice moment, ready to finish your look for an occasion or night out.
