Nicki Russo, designer.

I've been creating hand made items since I was old enough to hold a crayon.  Both my parents were talented.  Mom always had something "going" in her basket.  Dad made custom draperies and upholstered furniture.  I have explored stringing, wire work, bead embroidery and bead weaving.

Designing my own patterns began in 2017.  Patterns are available in my Etsy shop as well as some kits for those patterns.  Both are also available locally at Artistic Touch Beads, High Street, Millville, NJ.

I continue my own exploration of the craft by learning from the masters.  I enjoy mastering techniques and meeting other fellow beaders at bead retreats across the country.
