The brief was to create an artwork 6" x 6" inspired by a book you have recently read, preferably one stocked by Rosetta Books. 

All works will be the same size and a set price of $85 each.

As I usually read art books, I thought I'd have a change. My next favourite thing to do is 'play' with interesting beads and I have LOTS to play with.  Soooo I based my painting on a book  "Big Bead Jewellery" by  Deborah Scneebeli-Morrell.  This book has ideas for lots of interesting pieces to construct from beads.


With this in mind I painted a portrait and added earrings that I'd made. These are wood and stone beads, and the earrings are removable and wearable.

Big Bead Jewellery

A little 'off the wall' for me, but quirky and fun. In fact, I enjoyed this project so much I might make more... but when?
