Sheila Bayle

RedHawk jewelry is created using glass seed beads, semi-precious gemstones, freshwater pearls, art glass, and precious metals. Most work is woven using a single needle and thread but I also crochet and knit, and create using micro-macramé techniques. Colors are influenced by the natural world; shapes are influenced by textile traditions including Aztec, Japanese and my own Celtic traditions. Characteristic of my work is the use of tiny, antique seed beads to create intense detail.
