About Me
My name is Colleen, and my company is ShantiArt Design. I'm a graphic designer by day and a jewelry designer (bead lover) whenever time allows. Betty is a funny little story... We have an old SUV in the mountains that we use for skiing and outdoor fun, and we call it Betty Beater because it's so beat-up. One day, we came home from the mountains, and there were several packets in the mailbox (yes, beads). My husband jokily said, 'Wow, now I have a Betty Beader at home.' It was silly, but it stuck, and I decided it was a fun name for my passion for creating jewelry.
On that note...Step into my world of wearable artistry as you explore a collection of eclectic beaded jewelry. Handcrafted with the utmost care, each piece tells a story that intertwines tradition, nature, and unparalleled craftsmanship. In every design, you'll find a unique and enchanting tale waiting to be discovered and worn, each one an actual wearable piece of art. You'll also find a variety of crystals, healing stones, garden art, and other unique gifts.

On a personal note, I’m married, have two awesome kids, five fantastic grandkids, a dog, a cat, a variety of fish, a jungle of plants, and numerous birds in the garden. We love spending time with our family and friends, traveling, kayaking, and enjoying the great outdoors. PEACE.
Stay Hip. Bead On!
