artist: Tanya Snively

Tanya has been a bead artist for many years, producing loom-based and needle-based woven bead work (earrings, necklaces, bookmarks, ornaments, and the like), and jewelry using semi-precious stone beads.

Several years ago, she began using polymer clay as a medium to make her own beads and larger pieces. Her work includes boxes, eggs, beads, bead-based jewelry, refrigerator magnets, and coasters. Willows Gallery (historic downtown Littleton Colorado) carries her work.

An avid rockhound and active member of the Littleton Gem & Mineral Club, Tanya has also begun in the last year or so to cut and polish cabachons to use in her work.
