One of my favorite artists I’ve stumbled upon uses a unique “metal clay” to create interesting beads with powerful images inspired by cultural influences such as the American West and Japanese art. “Hint” even makes a visual reference of inspiration in her blog, showing the creative process behind why she chooses the imagery that she does.

Beth’s “Home Harvest” necklace is one of her latest pieces and you can almost feel the autumn breeze in the air- the citrine colors give off the warm glow of fallen leaves to accent the hand-crafted silver beadwork.

Though her assembled jewelry can be a bit pricey, the handcrafted beads range in affordable prices to accent your own handicrafts and bring together any project. From clever fall designs to adorable “anytime” styles, she has over a hundred beads to choose from – all created with the same metal clay firing technique.

As noted in her Etsy Shop, Hint also gives back with each purchase by giving to non-profit organizations that help make a difference in today’s world. For more information on the causes that benefit from Hint’s work, check out her Love Dogs blog. We’re glad to see someone who does such beautiful craft giving to help those who need it!
