Yvonne loves working with various kinds of media; however, her favorites are fabrics and beads. She is a designer, instructor and jewelry and fiber artist. She learned to sew at an early age watching her mother and grandmother sew and grabbing their scraps from under the table. She is a self-taught jewelry designer who loves to play with metalwork and found objects. She loves to turn fabric stash into beads and wearable art and jewelry using found objects, patina metals, charms, buttons, and stuff.

Jewels and Fiber offers trendy styles of wearable art and jewelry made from a selection of mixed media beads, findings, fibers and yarns, paper and polymer clay crafted embellishments. Jewels and Fiber offers up-cycled wearable art, handbags and jewelry made from up -cycled materials. New to the shop are my favorite surface design materials, books, tools, and art supplies to create your own unique pieces.
