3Fine Design®
(Arts and Crafts industry)
2005 — Present (4 years)
Welcome to 3Fine Design®.
My name is Tracy Behrends & I'm an independent jewelry artist & designer located in Minneapolis, MN (USA). For several of my designs I use a handstitched bead weaving technique called embellished right angle weave (RAW). I particularly enjoy the intricacy & challenges associated with tiny seed beads, needles & various beading threads.
My past experience & love for graphic arts significantly influence my jewelry designs. My affinity for symmetry, texture, geometric shapes, bright colors, simplicity & rhythmic patterns is readily apparent in the pieces that I create. For me, it's not only the completed product that brings a sense of joy & personal satisfaction but the entire creative process. From concept to the finishing touches, each journey compels me to stretch & grow. It's within the maturation experience & the challenges along the way that I find artistic fulfillment.
Thanks for stopping by.
