Welcome to 3Fine Design®.
My name is Tracy Behrends & I'm a contemporary jewelry artist & designer located in Minneapolis, MN. For several of my designs I use a hand stitched (off-loom) bead weaving technique called embellished right angle weave (RAW).
I particularly enjoy the intricacy & challenges associated with tiny seed beads, needles & various beading threads. It's my fascination with detail & the beauty of the finished product that make the stitching process particularly captivating. I consider each & every new design an exciting adventure.
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.
On the following pages, you will be able to view some photos & general information regarding my right angle weave pieces. You will also find links to my online portfolios, gallery site, blog & online store where more photos & information are available. If you're interested & have the opportunity, be sure to stop by & visit. Please feel free to contact me with questions you may have regarding my product, websites or commissions.
Thanks for stopping by.
