Glenda MacNaughton of daxbeadartpatterns is an Australian bead artist who has designed a wide range of jewelry designs including collections of beaded beads, patterns for flora and fauna, a section on Egyptiana and so on. But the section which caught my eye was her art deco and geometric inspired beaded jewelry tutorials.
Shown here are my favorites from that collection.
Her love for bead work certainly shows. Glenda said :
I am a self-taught bead artist, designer and writer who seeks to live, bead, design and write with social responsibility in mind. In this spirit, my bead art is inspired by the beauty and power of diversity in my natural & cultural worlds near & far. I love to infuse the shapes, patterns and colours of those worlds into designs that delight with their difference and keep diversity alive in what we wear, what we know and who we can be.

My wife is a cat fancier so I was excited about the Deco Cat pattern. However, I have to admit that, at first, I was confused and troubled by the idea of having to peyote a project that is 132 columns wide. I had to find out what the solution was so I purchased the pattern. It still seemed daunting until I actually analyzed the word pattern. Even though she mentioned (briefly) that you had to have a knowledge of how to zip up, it took me a while to realize that the pattern was broken into 3 stand-alone patterns and that THEN you had too zip them together. Rather a novel approach to a seemingly difficult pattern.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your helpful comment! Yes, breaking up a project into manageable chunks is a useful trick - rather like lap quilting!
