Welcome to my site!

I have a full-time job teaching, but use most of my extra time beading and creating. All of my work is handwoven bead-by-bead.

My work is mostly inspired by nature and the art I see everyday. I am drawn to birds and animals the most, but also love to do landscape pieces too.

My work is my own and each piece is unique to itself. I strive to make sure that each piece is different and one of a kind. I do this by changing out colors and the patterns themselves. I love the idea that what’s yours is yours and no one else’s.

All of my work is handwoven and designed by me. I take a lot of time thinking about each piece and drawing it out/using a program to create my larger pieces. Once that is done, I hand weave it together.

Since starting, I have learned a lot about my process and I am excited to see where it evolves to from here! Thank you for being here and supporting my work! Please visit my Instagram @emmaotherwisedesigns to see updates with what I am working on, and what is coming!
