Helen O’Donnell Designs
Welcome!
Evolution is in the air! Helen O’Donnell once owned a successful bead shop, Gahanna Bead Studio. She retired in March of 2021 and now has evolved into a semi-retired beading artist who still finds herself addicted to beads. Her new site features beads from Les perles par Puca® – Paris and Czechia, kits, and handmade jewelry, crafted with originality and with care. Helen takes pride in designing original, one-of-a-kind works of art and limited edition jewelry that you’ll be proud to own and wear. Helen’s current influences have their roots in European history and art. She also creates beading kits for those who want to make their own jewelry from her original designs.
