Nancy Sathre-Vogel is a jewelry artist who gathers beads in her travels around the globe.
Currently Nancy, her husband and their twin boys are bicycling the entire length of Pan American Highway, from northern Alaska to the tip of South America.
You can keep up with their current journey on their Family on Bikes website.
“Vietnamese Wisdom” necklace by Nancy Sathre-Vogel,
made with seed beads and a carving
she purchased in Vietnam.
Nancy says she “willingly lugs a couple pounds of beads around the world” on her bike so she can create jewelry as she travels.
The pieces she creates are one-of-a-kind works of art, evolving from the story of her journeys, the history of each bead, and Nancy’s artistry.
I love how she creates the life of her dreams by combining her passions for family, traveling the world, bicycling, and beading.
