All the sites listed below are part of our family of websites
created to promote different aspects of our lives, both business and otherwise.
Each was created and is maintained by Tim of Distinct Site Design.
Beads, beading supplies and Italian ribbons. First and foremost the BeadedLily site is home to our own line of
handmade glass beads created here in our Florence glass studio. Also quite popular among jewelry designers both here and abroad is our
Italian Tubular Wire Mesh Ribbon. In addition you will find an interesting assortment of items ranging from Venetian pendants and Swarovski crystal to quality findings and lamp working supplies.
One-of-a-kind bracelets, necklaces & other items featuring our own handmade beads. Originally our line of hand-crafted, beaded jewelry was included as part of our BeadedLily site. However, we found that the individual items were getting a bit lost in the shuffle. The Beaded Lily Designs site allows for focus on the beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces themselves.
Your source in Italy for
this endlessly versatile product. Coated
in enamel and lacquered to prevent color change, this Italian product is water
proof, heat resistant and nickel free. It can be used as a ribbon to support a
pendant, as a tube with beads carefully inserted inside it or it can be fluffed
out to nearly 3 times its original size, creating beautiful swirls and waves. It
can be twisted, knotted and pulled into just about any shape. Weave wire into
it, attach crystals... And this versatile product is certainly not limited to
just jewelry design. Think of the possibilities for scrap booking, card making,
polymer clay projects (Bake it right in!) ... The possibilities are truly
endless!

Personalized website creation, website maintenance and online store management programs. My other passion! Designing websites was born out of necessity years ago when Lily and I had a bead store in Tucson, Arizona for which we needed a website. I've found that there are quite a few similarities between designing websites and designing beads, both of which rely on a strong foundation and a well-balanced visual flow. When I'm not making beads you will generally find me making websites, both for our
own various projects and commercially.
