The Story behind TinArtist

Hi, my name is Tina-Marie Heinrich and I am the owner and creator of TinArtist - welcome to my authentic German beading and crafting!

In early 2019, I became interested in beading again after doing some crafting in my child and teenager years. I use Czech seed beads and the two-needles technique and like playing around with different colours, pearls, and glass beads of different sizes and shapes.

Beading helps to calm my mind, body and spirit by decompressing from a busy day.

My beaded keychains include pictures I took featuring Vancouver Island (in particular beautiful Nanaimo) in British Columbia. I am making my own epoxy cabochons as a centrepiece for my keychains to create eternal memories.

All beaded necklaces and earrings feature a glass cabochon as a
centrepiece that usually includes some kind of floral design or
similar. The Czech seed beads are selected to complement the colours of the cabochon.

Last but not least, I craft other necklaces, earrings, keychains, bracelets, rings etc. Most of my jewelry are Ocean themed, a tribute to my hometown of choice Nanaimo, BC as well as to my childhood years spent mostly near the Baltic Sea in Germany.

Thank you (danke) for visiting my website and for the opportunity to share my German art and story with you.

TinArtist is located in Nanaimo, BC.
