Aasia Hamid
Aasia has always been an art lover, played with different mediums of art all her life, from pottery to stained glass to fused glass. Making jewelry has been her passion since 2003. She found beads as her new painting palette. Beadwork is the art of attaching beads to one another by sewing them with a beading needle and fishing line thread. Beads are available in many different designs, sizes, colors, shapes and material allowing much variation among bead artists and projects. She incorporates different stitches such as peyote, right angle weave, herringbone and many more to create dramatic jewelry. Each piece is meticulously handmade and some may take up to several weeks to complete. She loves to add texture and color in her creations. Variations of bead weaving are endless and the results are beautiful. Aasia works from her home studio and each piece is handmade by her. Her studio is like a candy store. In her opinion, jewelry should be an ideal finishing touch to any women's outfit. Her pieces are a combination of traditional and contemporary designs from simple to exquisite.
