Amee uses Soutache and Bead Embroidery to create textile jewelry with sinuous, organic shapes in brilliant hues. She takes her inspiration from all things color-saturated. Mucha posters, Venetian glass, Renaissance paintings, and Hollywood dance-costumes have all, at one time or another, influenced her creations. Formally educated in both, Interior Design and Fine Art, Amee is a member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen. She teaches out of her studio in Merrimack, New Hampshire, and venues across the country including The Craft Center at the LNHC headquarters in Concord, New Hampshire.

Tassels make beautiful, textural enhancements for everything from clothing to jewelry to home decor. But the solid, upper portion of traditional tassels, are worked around wooden forms which can be expensive, difficult to find and time-consuming to cover. The bodies of our "Sou-tassels," are created using Soutache & Bead Embroidery which makes firm but opulent, sculptural outer forms to surround the fringe of the tassel. This technique can be easily modified, changing size and shape. Adventurous Beginners will learn many of the Basics of working with Soutache while Intermediate Soutache artists will be delighted to add this brand new technique to their creative toolbox! Kits will be made available in a variety of color-ways and include soutache, beads, tassel skirt and thread and will make one “jewelry-scaled” tassel – ideal for a pendant which can be strung on student’s choice of chain, cord or ribbon (not included).
