The Maker


Hello!  My name is Amanda and thank you so much for stopping by.  Let me tell you how we got here!


When life kicks you, sometimes it isn’t to hurt you but to get you going in a different direction.  That’s exactly what has happened to me.  I have had an amazing job most of my adult life as a corporate travel agent.  I loved the fast paced, problem solving and customer contact involved with it.  Although, being married to a farmer I often said I was the only travel agent that didn’t travel.  Then in 2020, my life got turned upside down.  Just like so many others.  My amazing job came to a standstill.  I was furloughed and then received the inevitable lay off from a job and company I loved.  Luckily, I had already been getting this vision of what I wanted my future to be.


I have always loved western and southwestern fashion and decor.  Farming and ranching reached back generations on both sides of my family as well as my husband’s families.  The one piece I was missing in life was to tap into my creative side.  I have loved stitching and creating pieces for myself, friends and family especially anything that touched on that western heritage.  Bandit Beadwork and Design was a natural progression for me and I have absolutely loved it.  Each piece I have designed and handcrafted.  I truly hope you enjoy my work as much as I have enjoyed creating it.    I can’t wait to see how you accessorize with these designs.

Thank you again for stopping by and feel free to reach out to me anytime.  

Remember, if you find yourself getting kicked, keep your chin up and look at the direction you are going now.  It's where you are meant to be!


THE SOCIAL BUTTERFLY
 

Hey guys!!

My name is Lindsay Miller, some of you might better know me as Miss. Miller’s Photography! I have spent the past 6 years working as the CEO, CFO and literally everything else to start my western wedding and livestock photography business from the ground up!

I was so excited when my mom asked me to help her create this western jewelry biz! Heck yeah! I looooove western fashion and who doesn’t love being paid in cookies?? (cookies not an acceptable form of payment on earrings unfortunately LOL).

Over here on Bandit Beadwork and Design LLC, I am taking a backseat and working my magic as the lead social media and marketing director!
