TinArtist

Nanaimo,  BC 

Hi, my name is Tina-Marie Heinrich and I am the owner and founder of TinArtist - welcome to my traditional German beading and crafting!

In early 2019, I became interested in beading after doing some crafting in my child and teenager years. I use Czech seed beads and the two-needle technique and like playing around with different colors, pearls, and glass beads of different sizes and shapes. My beaded keychains include pictures I took featuring Vancouver Island (in particular beautiful Nanaimo) in British Columbia. I am using epoxy cabochons to create eternal memories for my keychains.

All beaded necklaces and earrings feature a glass cabochon as a centrepiece that usually includes some kind of fl oral or maritime design as a homage to my childhood spent mostly at the Baltic Sea in Germany. The Czech seed beads are selected to match the colors of the cabochon.
