ENTREVISTA
¿Quieres decirnos tu nombre?
Kerrie Slade.
¿Cuántos años tienes?
43
¿País de nacimiento?
Inglaterra.
¿País de residencia?
Inglaterra
¿Cuánto hace que empezaste con esta afición?
Hace alrededor de 7 años.
Cuéntanos como empezaste.
Solía hacer punto de cruz como hobby. Un día seguí un patrón que usaba algunos abalorios para darle brillo a la pieza terminada y desde aquel momento quedé enganchada a los abalorios y todo lo que tenía que ver con ellos.
Dinos 3 artistas que te inspiren.
Hay tantos artistas ya establecidos y emergentes con talento que admiro... pero los 3 que elegiría serían Jean Power (http://www.jeanpower.com/), Lynn Davy (http://www.nemeton.clara.net/) y Zoya Gutina (http://www.mylovelybeads.com/).
¿Cuántas horas dedicas a la semana a esta afición?
Varía, pero por lo general mas de 50 horas a la semana.
¿Te dedicas profesionalmente a esto?
Estoy encantada de poder decir que hacer y vender piezas terminadas y crear nuevos diseños se ha convertido gradualmente en mi trabajo a tiempo completo.
¿Qué otras aficiones tienes?
No me queda mucho tiempo para ninguna otra afición en mi vida desde que descubrí los abalorios. Prácticamente todo lo que hago está relacionado con los abalorios pero me gusta hacerlo para mantenerme en forma y recientemente he echado a andar.
¿Quieres contarnos algo mas de tu vida?
Me encanta el hecho de poder usar métodos tradicionales para crear trabajos modernos y disfruto especialmente haciendo trabajos florales inspirados en las flores de mi jardín. Además me siento afortunada de vivir en este momento en el que internet hace posible conectar con artistas de todo el mundo.

ENTREVISTA ORIGINALWould you like to tell us your name?
Kerrie Slade.
How old are you?
43
What country were you born in?
England
Where do you live now?
England
When did you start this hobby?
About 7 years ago.
How did you start?
I used to do cross-stitch as a hobby. One day I followed a pattern that used a few beads to add sparkle to the finished piece and from that moment on I was hooked on beads and everything to do with them.
Who are three artists who inspire you the most?
There are so many talented established and emerging artists that I admire but the three that I would pick would be Jean Power, Lynn Davy and Zoya Gutina.
How many hours a week do you dedicate to this hobby?
It varies, but usually over 50 hours per week.
Is this more than your hobby? Is it your job?
I’m happy to say that making and selling finished pieces and creating new designs has gradually become my full time occupation.
What other hobbies do you have?
There isn’t much time for any other hobbies in my life since I discovered beading. Nearly everything I do is bead related but I do like to keep fit and have recently started running.
Would you like to tell us a little bit more about you?
I love the fact that I can use traditional methods to create modern beadwork and I especially enjoy making floral beadwork inspired by the flowers in my garden. I also count myself lucky to live in this time when the internet makes it possible to connect with other beaders around the world.
