My name is Cora Bartels-Sparidaans, and I reside in the southern Netherlands. I am a proud mother of two sons, Thomas and Kevin, and I am happily married to my loving husband, Erwin Bartels.

I began my beading journey in April 2014. Since 2019, I have been the owner of my own online store, CSBeadDesign. Some of my designs are created in collaboration with my mother, José Sloesen, or are her original designs. I am also a proud member of the Beadsmith Inspiration Squad and have a passion for teaching.

At CSBeadDesign, you will find a wide selection of products, including patterns, kits, and supplies such as crystals, various types of beads, findings, and tools. The store is regularly updated with new products, kits, and patterns to inspire your creativity.

Additionally, I launch an exclusive mystery pattern every year on September 1st.

We enjoy conducting photoshoots to showcase our work. Together with my good friend Kim Jentjens, we always have a great time shooting inside or outside at our dedicated "set."

To stay updated on new patterns and products, please follow my Facebook pages and Instagram account.
