Finds and selections
Léa Perrin spends her days in fuse-bead galleries from all over the world. She spots the patterns that hold up, sets aside the ones that cannot be rebuilt, and brings back the site’s themed selections: an animal, a season, a console, a motif that keeps coming back. She also signs the charts that come out of those finds.
