Huib was born in a small town in Holland. He explained,
"Needlecrafts first caught my attention when I was a child growing up in a small town in Holland. Encouraged by my mom, grandma and the local needlecraft store owner, I picked up crochet, knitting, tatting, macramé, bobbin lace, needle lace and embroidery with ease." He was also heavily into the theater arts when he was younger.
He became interested in bead work when he stumbled upon 19th century Russian bead work. He now has a studio and gallery in San Francisco where he works full time designing beaded jewelry.

| Butterfly and Sweet Pea necklace |
One of my favorites from his sample collection is the
Swallowtail Butterfly necklace below which shows the metamorphic stages! Clever!
Another favorite is one of his ocean pieces which has starfish and all sorts of other sea creatures like the anemone.
Huib has some patterns for sale on his website.
