Our Story

Rooted in Craft,
Grown in Santa Barbara

Beaded Frog Designs began as a quiet pursuit — a fascination with the way light catches a single glass bead, the meditative rhythm of threading, and the unexpected beauty that emerges when color and texture are pushed to their limits.

What started as personal experimentation has grown into a dedicated practice rooted in our Santa Barbara studio. We work primarily with seed beads, crystal, semi-precious stones, and wire — materials that reward patience and invite experimentation.

Every piece that leaves our studio carries the same commitment: that handmade objects hold a different kind of value, one that can't be replicated by machine. We don't produce in volume. We make with care — and that intention shows in every stitch.

01

Intentional Materials

We source quality beads and findings — nothing is chosen solely for cost. The materials matter.

02

Slow Creation

Each piece is individually crafted by hand. Some take hours; others take weeks. There's no shortcut.

03

Local & Accessible

Our studio is open to visitors on La Cumbre Road — come see the work in person before you buy.
