3Fine Design: Art that adorns you.



Welcome to 3Fine Design.

My name is Tracy Behrends & I'm an independent jewelry artist & designer currently located in Minneapolis, MN USA. My business name is 3Fine Design.

For several of my designs I use a handstitched technique called embellished right angle weave. I particularly enjoy the intricacy & challenges associated with tiny seed beads, needles & various beading threads. It's a very time consuming process with an abundance of love & gratification woven into every jewelry piece I create.

In addition, a few of my other passions include designing beaded cabochons (using bead weaving & bead embroidery techniques), creating wire sculpture pendants & hand carving leather. It's my fascination with detail & the beauty of the finished product that make the stitching, wrapping & tooling process particularly captivating. I consider each & every new design an exciting adventure.

My past experience & love for graphic arts significantly influence my jewelry designs. My affinity for symmetry, texture, geometric shapes, color, simplicity & rhythmic patterns is readily apparent in the pieces that I create. It's not only the completed product that brings a sense of joy & personal satisfaction but the entire creative process. From concept to the finishing touches, each individual journey compels me to stretch & grow. It's within the maturation experience & the challenges along the way that I find artistic fulfillment.
