Most of my
inspiration comes from antiquity but the Art Deco Movement
also fascinates me. The movement in the early 20th
century seems to combine some classical and timeless motifs
with elements of the future. The movement began in Paris and
affected all areas of design – architecture, decorative
arts, fashion, and jewelry.
During one of my first trips to Chicago, I took the
architecture cruise and fell in love with the architecture
of Chicago. Art Deco architecture and motifs found in
jewelry inspired Madeleine Earrings and I designed them
specifically for my great friend Lisa Garoon when she asked
me to come and teach for her new bead shop – City Beads in
Chicago.
They are named for the fashion designer Madeleine Vionnet
who influenced the course of fashion during the 1920s and
30s. Her designs are gorgeous!!!!
The earrings (or pendant) combine peyote, brick, and square
stitch. The workshop is for the intermediate/advanced
beader. Participants will also learn how to cover an earring
pad with post. |
