CHRISTINA BAILEY BEADWORK, SOAPS & GLASS
By Sandra Gunderson Warner, Contributor
Rich Civic Times
Christina Bailey started doing beadwork when she was about 10 years old growing up in a small town in Denmark. Back then her beadwork was influenced by Danish and Scandinavian styles and designs but when she moved to the U.S. in 1989 she discovered Native American beadwork as a new form of jewelry design to explore. In 1999 she started to handpaint and embellish gourds – some of which she makes into bird houses. She then expanded her talents into making handmade soaps and, in 2006 she invested in a small kiln and started to fuse glass. But this is not all she does.
So be sure to stop by and see all of the numerous crafts she is currently hard at work creating for the Bear Lake Valley Craft Fair during Raspberry Days, Aug. 4-6. You'll find them and many other talented local crafters in the Lakeside Bldg north of the library in the Garden City Complex on 300 West.
