One of my favourite beaders I am inspired by is Sabine Lippert. Her book is due for release in May 2012 - a copy of which I have advanced purchased and really look forward to receiving.
I spent this morning experimenting and figuring out how she achieves her beautiful embellished pieces and here is my take on one of her current designs. I have made changes to make this pendant my own but am really grateful for her ideas and inspiration.
The pendant as actually quite small, measuring only 30mm across. As I made this I was wondering whether this style is Vintage or Romantique as it has an old world look about it.
Whatever style it is I really enjoy embellishing and making things as lovely as this. But then I guess you have already figured this out eh ??
This is stunning and the work of Sabine Lippert is beautiful too.

ps I have been given a lot of seed beads and some are nice, would you be interested in them. Maybe for a class?
Hi Xandra, thanks for the comment, much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI use Japanese and Czech seed beads only as they are colourfast and consistent in sizing.
Do you know where your seed beads are from??
