The Alaskan Cruise with Beady Friends was an awesome experience! It’s the ideal combination of beading, sightseeing and cruising, not to mention meeting amazing beaders. As a bonus, a group of us got to visit the humongous Shipwreck Beads in Lacey, WA. I highly recommend this type of trip to everyone!
RYPAN DESIGNS Catalogue of kits, patterns and books just got bigger! It’s more in depth with loads of new styles and color ways . As well, Maria’s Portfolio grew in many directions. See the published beadwork Articles, In the Press and descriptions of Presentations which can be booked anytime. Check them ALL out!
Visit my Gallery and be inspired! Enjoy the creations, inspirations and stories:
My Trypillian Spirit Project took me to many high places. See photos to illustrate the journey and story. click for more
See how beadweaving “saved” Ellen Long's life three years ago. Then read Dorothy’s story on the same topic from South Africa.
My visit to the Ukrainian National Museum in Chicago was a success. I’m waiting for a copy of the DVD of the UZIR-TV program featuring my “Contemporary Beadwork in Ukraine. Some lucky Chicagoans got to see Nastasiya Marusyk-Zhmendak’s beadwork and fully bead embroidered Bukovynian ‘sorochky’ and folk costumes live. Awesome!
Maria’s “Contemporary Ukrainian Beadwork” Powerpoint show had been launched at the Toronto Bead Society meeting on Ukrainian New Year’s Day (Jan 14th). It’s already been shown at Tampa Bead Café, FL. It’s available for bookings, as well as the historic slide show and teaching beadweaving. Click on Presentations for more details. Ready to travel anywhere...
