Textures in Beads - Patrizia Tager Jewelry

For Patrizia Tager, it's beads, beads and more beads.

Her handmade innovative beaded wearable art 
is sure to grab your attention.  

Her work is richly layered and makes
a strong impression.

My inspiration comes from all textures,

colours and matter: organic, industrial,

modern and ancient but most of all from

the infinite possibilities

of creating with these tiny glass beads.

So beautiful and innovative.

I’m always intrigued by her choices of color,

texture and design.  Everything just seems to
blend together flawlessly.

And there's lots more to see at her website.

The Following

At first when I started watching The Following I wasn't sure if I was going to keep watching it.  It started out so violent and it isn't that I can't handle violent shows but it was very disturbing.  I do though love Kevin Bacon so I continued to watch it.   The Following has become one of my favorite shows.  I love the suspense, it keeps you on your toes and wanting more.  The show flashes back to the past to help fill in some gaps.  I will say though I find Emma, Paul and Jacob very disturbing, I know you aren't suppose to like them so the writers have done a great job getting the audience to despise them.  If you haven't started watching The Following I highly recommend it.

She Tells A Story - Becky Crow Jewelry

Becky Crow likes to tell stories through her jewelry.

 

The plots are simple,

the subject and action easily discerned,

and each pieceevokes genuine feeling,

doing so by showing—not telling.

Every piece in this collection

has its own personality and its own story to tell -

a wonderfully expressive

slice of life full of mood and detail.

 

This series features imaginative,

heartwarming characters that seem

to be infused with

emotion and thoughtfulness.

Graceful Yet Intense - Carrie Bilbo Jewelry

Occasionally, one desires designs that are rough-hewn;

something that definitely shows the hand of the artist

and an intensely personal approach to design.

Such is the work offered by Carrie Bilbo.

Her designs lend themselves to meandering

thoughts and daydreams.

I find myself captivated by her asymmetrical

designs that swirl and spiral.

Each combination of

shape, contour and texture

seems like a little

piece of wearable modern sculpture.

 

 

Raw and edgy. Graceful yet intense.

All at the same time.

Each piece is visually and tactilely intriguing.
