THE STORY BEHIND THE BEADS

Meet Tammy Jo

Every bead has a story. Mine began with Grandma Milly.

A little color, a little sparkle, and a lot of heart.

I've been captivated by beads, buttons, stones, and glass for as long as I can remember. Their colors, textures, and endless possibilities have always sparked my imagination.

My love of creating began with a very special gift from my Grandma Milly. One day, she gave me a piece of fabric and a tin filled with unique glass and metal buttons. To someone else, they might have seemed like ordinary little treasures. But to me, they opened the door to a whole new world of creativity.

That simple gift planted a seed that has stayed with me ever since.

Over the years, my fascination with beautiful little things has grown into a passion for beadwork and jewelry making. I love bringing together different colors, shapes, textures, and materials to create pieces that are as individual as the people who wear them.

Whether I'm designing a bracelet, necklace, pair of earrings, or something a little unexpected, I enjoy watching an idea come to life, one bead at a time.

Brilliant Beading is my place to share that creativity with you.

Each piece represents a little imagination, a little patience, and a whole lot of heart. My hope is that you'll find something here that makes you smile, inspires you, or simply feels like it was made just for you.

Thank you for visiting Brilliant Beading and sharing in something I truly love.

With love and a little sparkle,Tammy Jo
