Maggie Wihnyk

I have designed and made needle woven bead work for 20+ years. As a student of history my jewelry is often influenced by fashions popular in other times periods.
Needle weaving with beads, semi-precious gemstones, pearls and found treasure is an ancient technique to produce wearable art and is seen in many cultures around the globe. My designs incorporate the techniques and materials to produce a modern chic look. The weaving is intricate and three-dimensional using needle and thread often one bead at a time.
