Welcome to 3Fine Design®.
My name is Tracy Behrends and I'm a jewelry artist, designer, beadweaver and leatherworker currently
located in Minneapolis, MN (USA).
For several of my designs I use a hand stitched bead weaving technique called
embellished right angle weave. I particularly enjoy the intricacy and challenges associated with tiny seed beads, needles
and various beading threads. It's a very time consuming process with an abundance of love and gratification woven into every
stitched piece.
In addition, a few of my other passions include designing beaded cabochons (using bead weaving
and bead embroidery techniques), creating wire sculpture pendants and hand carving leather. It's my fascination with detail
and the beauty of the finished product that make the stitching, wrapping and tooling process particularly captivating. I consider
each and every new design an exciting adventure.
My past experience and love for graphic arts significantly influence
my jewelry designs. My affinity for symmetry, texture, geometric shapes, bright colors, simplicity and rhythmic patterns is
readily apparent in the pieces that I create.
It's not only the completed product that brings a sense of joy and
personal satisfaction but the entire creative experience. From concept to the finishing touches, each individual journey compels
me to stretch and grow. It's within the maturation process and facing the challenges along the way that I find artistic fulfillment.
Thanks for stopping by.
