Masterclass 2010
All these projects can be adapted to make different items (such as bracelets and earrings) if you so choose.
Zinnia Bracelet - This delightful bracelet is made up of pretty beaded zinnias with Swarovski Rivoli Centres. The flowers are all linked together with circular decorative floral motifs that will be as much fun to bead as to wear!
Athena's Necklace - This lovely and dramatic necklace is inspired by two other designs - The Pandora's Necklace (which was an Online Bead Club Project last year) and Firecracker. The two are brought together here to stunning effect. There's lots of interesting beading - more 3D Right Angle Weave, a fabulous rope necklace that has become my favourite, and a lovely central pendant surrounding a Swarovski Rivoli.
Dahlia Pendant/Brooch - I've been having such fun working with the Swarovski Rivolis, and devising different surrounds for them. This one has lots of petals, and makes a fabulous brooch or the centrepiece for this pretty lacy necklace complete with tiny florals motifs and crystal charms.
Jensen's Necklace - Georg Jensen (Danish Silversmith) designed iconic jewellery in the early twentieth century, with a strong bias towards solid silver rhythmic flowing shapes interspersed with semi precious cabochons - his jewellery was a melding of two styles: The stylised minimalism of Scandinavian Design meeting the uninhibited decoration of Art Nouveau. My necklace in homage to this great Designer relies on shape rather than colour, with repetitive motifs caught periodically in exquisite Swarovski Opal stones.
