Vivien Clendenning, of Tallahassee, Florida is a crafter of beaded jewelry. She uses semi-precious gemstones, freshwater pearls and beads of crystal, glass, porcelain and clay strung using silver or gold-filled findings. As a creative person, she took jewelry-making classes locally in 2002, then, went on with her craft participating in local exhibitions as of 2003 onwards. She displays Holiday, sports themed and all occasion pieces. “I consider beading an adventure in design and techniques. I enjoy creating beautiful, unique and contemporary jewelry that will enhance anyone’s collection. My challenge is that each of my beaded creations represents and brings out the wearer’s personality since I consider that jewelry is an expression of the person who wears it.”
