Artist Feature - CIGAR BOX BEADS


Hailing from Seal Beach, California, Marilyn is the creative force behind Cigar Box Beads. Beadweaving has been her passion for over 20 years and it all began with a simple purchase of a cigar box full of beads at a flea market. Additionally, Marilyn enjoys crochet, knit, sew and decoupage.

The piece featured above, is a hand-woven Amulet Bag which is comprised of hundreds of tiny seedbeads, red jasper gemstone chips, and a wooden fetish lizard. It is available in Marilyn's Etsy shop for $80 USD.

Marilyn is a proud member of the Etsy Beadweavers Street Team and the California Craft Club of Etsy (CCCOE).
