Thirteen impressive beadwork objects
Leaf Lei by Rebecca Brown.
Mardi Gras flag boy.
Modern Native American bead art. Kiowa, I believe. Very cool.
Anita, a female human skull adorned with Swarovski crystal beads by Quinn Gregory. His skull art pieces contain somewhere between 8500 to 12500 Swarovski crystals.
Not exactly beadwork, but this beady ET was untouched during Katrina.
Night and Day. A mask by Wendy Seaward, who makes other lovely, lovely things.
Until I Can Breathe Again. Shelley Nybakke said that this is the project you make after your husband of 34 years walks out with the lame excuse that "we have nothing in common."
Beaming Up. Star Trek art by Devorah Sperber. Each figure is made of at least 25000 semi-transparent beads on monofilament.
Imperial Kimono by Madelyn Ricks. Inspired by a Noh costume in the Tokyo National Museum. Want it? $15000 and it's yours. Photo by David Solins.
A wedding purse. Nonyas (Chinese Peranakan women) are well-known for their skill in embroidery and beadwork. A nonya bride was often judged on her needlework before she was fully accepted by her new family.
This puma was crafted by the Huichol in west central Mexico. It is made of individual seed beads embedded in wax.
Anemone. A freeform work inspired by the life of a coral reef.
This nursing charm, an "isixhoxho," adorns Xhosa women and broadcasts that the wearers are nursing mothers.
