Maria Grazia Diano's Venetian Bead Creations

Creation of flowers, jewels and bride's accessories made of Venetian glass beads. Everything wholly handmade by Maria Grazia Diano.

My aims

In everyone’s life there are moments when one feels lost and useless, but sometimes a look at your inner self is sufficient to find out a lot of things you could realized: what you need is to believe in what you do and therefore to dedicate yourself to their creation.

I have always wished I could "create" and why not, could get from my "creatures" an economical satisfaction too. I have then decided to use Internet in order to advertise and put on the market my hand-made objects. In this way I also hope to spread out the ancient art of the Venetian glass beadworks.

Profile

I am graduated in Italian Literature and have worked for 10 years as librarian with the Civic Library of Padova. After marriage and birth of the first son I left my work to dedicate myself to the family. I now have two sons. I leave in Genova, beautiful city.

I have always had an artistic vein: in the past I made paintings, embroiderings, etc, but thanks to a friend of mine, I have really "fallen in love" with the Venetian glass beads. Every "creature" is unique and needs lots of time and weariness in forming it in the mind, trying the right materials, colours and shape and last but not least to realize it.

My thanks to my husband who has exhorted me to go on this path and takes care of my web page.
