We are so excited to be having Gini on as a guest designer this month. We will be posing different projects Gini has done to share with you all throughout the month. Her work is so beautiful, we are thrilled to have her this month!
A little about Gini – in her words
I have been crafting all of my life, in one form or another. I was a very successful bead artist. My work was published in over a dozen books and magazines, and I lectured and taught all over the country, but…my beaded pieces took 500-1000 hours to complete. About 10 years ago, I started scrapbooking, when my first nephew was born. I instantly fell in love with the immediacy of the medium (compared to the crazy hours I spent beading!) In the past several years, I have really gotten serious with the craft and love finding new ways to take my pieces to the next level. It’s really funny to look at any of my work, from beadwork to paper and to be able to see the same style emerge, regardless of the medium. I have always loved dimension, and color and layers.
Paper crafting is really a family thing for me. My sister and I used to get together once a week to craft, but now she has moved right next door, so it’s one big paper party! I can’t leave out that my six year old nephew thinks it’s really cool to scrapbook with his aunt and mommy! My husband doesn’t ever craft with me, but he is my biggest cheerleader, and is always supportive of what I do. We have been married for almost three years. We have a fairytale romance – we knew each other in high school and were friends, but went over 20 years without any contact, and reconnected on Facebook and quickly knew we were meant to be together. I work as a dental hygienist, so creating with paper is always a welcomed release! Some of Gini’s work!
