The beaded scene on the front has many crystals which add plenty of bling. The crossbody strap is chain and leather. It also comes with a Yeti appliqué which is optional to add to the front.

About Teacher Holly Bean
Art is in my genes. My mother encouraged me to take art classes – sketching and painting, but I also dabbled in clay. Her needlepoint animals were my inspiration for creating animals with beads…that’s how my wild kingdom began. I designed beaded necklaces and bead woven earrings for years before I found Bead Embroidery. Bead Embroidery has become my passion. There are so many possibilities to be creative. Colors, textures, cultures and life inspire me. My designs have been published and taught in-person and on Zoom. We never stop learning and I love to share.
