I create mixed media bead paintings using the Huichol beadwork technique of pressing seed beads in a wax adhesive layer. The technique is very meditative for me—it also taps into my ADHD super power to hyper-focus, but that’s another story. 🧘‍♂️ #queerartist #mosaic #ADHD #hyperfocus #beads #timelapse

I’ve recently begun to mix sculpting with mosaic bead painting. This video offers a glimpse into my process using paper clay to create feathers for a mixed media piece in my newest collection. #rachelyoungart #mixedmedia #detail #feather
