Dana is inspired by gemstones' natural wonder, which she attributes to her grandmother, who collected uncut stones and geodes and would then shine a black light on the rocks to expose their radiant colors. She is also inspired by her passion for handcrafted needlework, such as the peyote stitch, which is an off-loom bead weaving technique used in many cultures; it has been found in artifacts from ancient Egypt, as well as in Native American beadwork.
