Roz Long

About the Artist
When her best friend introduced her to Swarovski crystals, Roz quickly became enamored with semi-precious gems and stones.

Roz's pieces are done using bead stringing techniques, but she also enjoys kumihimo and precious metal clay, preferring patterns and symmetry. She is particularily proud of her bead embroidered cabochon.

She painstakingly works and re-works her pieces multiple times until she finds just the right composition and balance. Roz confesses that oftentimes this part of her process takes longer than creating the finished piece.
