Art Designer of Wearable Art

Hi, I’m Gina. I design jewelry from mixed media art.

Mixed media art allows me to be free spirited with my creativity without restrictions. At times when mixing the unknown together, I sometimes call it happy mistakes that have become my number one go-to items on my website.

My journey to paper beads began in 2019. I worked as a clinical administrator in healthcare for multiple ambulatory care offices. Although I loved my job, the patients and accomplished so much during that time, I found myself becoming burnout after 20 years in the field. With the added pressure of the ever-changing policies and procedures of healthcare, I needed an outlet to the daily stress.

I was always creative. One day I decided to surf the net, I landed on YouTube tutorials for paper bead jewelry.

I immediately was hooked and decided to take a chance at this new adventure on making paper beads.

With much thought, I resigned from my job to explore this wonderful world of creative wearable art.

In addition, I return to school to become a registered Yoga Teacher to live a healthier lifestyle with managing stressful situations. Happy to say, I am on the right path.

During this time, I never knew what I embarked on. The combo of Yoga / meditation and developing new shapes and sizes of paper beads, along with rolling them into these little treasures, was very therapeutic! I felt as if I was floating on a cloud.

I knew this was meant for me. Timing was perfect. I started a paper bead group on Facebook to share my ideas with other creative artists to relish in all this goodness. Once I felt confident enough to create tutorials, I went onto You tube where I now have my own channel.

I now operate my own small business. I am a supplier of paper strips for all the
paper beaders out there looking to just roll beads without the hassle of cutting paper.

My paper strips are precisely cut for well-rounded beads. I have created over 72 shapes and sizes of paper beads and counting.

In addition to paper beads, I create paper shapes for jewelry and supplier of all your jewelry finding needs.

I love the journey that led me to this very spot, and I never looked back.

I enjoy making forever friends that share the love of wearable art. I am always learning as well as teaching for those who are bitten by the paper bead bug. I am grateful.

I continue to bloom for simple creative ways that anyone can achieve.

Join me in expressing your creative side, and yes everyone has one…..

Never stop creating!

 Your Creative friend, Gina Herrmann
