Yvonne Noyon

Yvonne Noyon designs and creates beaded and silver wire jewellery. She began 12 years ago, beading detailed tapestries and amulet bags, then continued experimenting with beads and wire, discovering endless possibilities.
Her inspiration comes from organic shapes and elements, especially spirals, incorporating semi-precious stones and glass beads with silver wire into a multitude of unique pieces that bring a sense of joy and pleasure. 
Lately she has rediscovered her love of intricate tapestries, beaded using minuscule Japanese Delica beads. Her creations have been displayed for sale at local markets and craft fairs and at her own studio, SpiritSong Designs, which has been part of the Gabriola Thanksgiving Studio Tour since 2004.
