Beadwork Inspired by Art: Impressionist Jewelry and Accessories (Beadwork Inspired by Art)

Beadwork Inspired by Art is a series of beadwork project books, inspired by the colors, textures, and forms of historical art and craft traditions. The authors present full instructions for 12 one-of-a-kind beadwork projects inspired by their favorite masterpieces—by some of the world’s finest artists.

In this volume, working with a “canvas” of beads, thread, and a variety of techniques—from stringing to weaving—readers learn to recreate the jewelry and home decor objects of the Impressionist period, an art style known for its energetic brushstrokes of colors and sensual effects. The historical photograph that inspired each project and detailed step-by-step instructions and drawings are included, too.
