Book Description

Beadwork Inspired by Art September 1, 2008

Beadwork Inspired by Art is a series of beadwork project books, inspired by the colors, textures, and forms of historical art and craft traditions. The authors present full instructions for 12 one-of-a-kind beadwork projects inspired by their favorite masterpieces—by some of the world’s finest artists.

 

In this volume, working with a “canvas” of beads, thread, and a variety of techniques—from stringing to weaving—readers learn to recreate the jewelry and home decor objects of the Impressionist period, an art style known for its energetic brushstrokes of colors and sensual effects. The historical photograph that inspired each project and detailed step-by-step instructions and drawings are included, too.

3.0 out of 5 stars My take on the content:, September 29, 2008

Nancy Johnston (Lansing, MI United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beadwork Inspired by Art: Impressionist Jewelry and Accessories (Paperback)
Lovely cover, but frankly, I was very disappointed in the lack of projects. No attempt to correlate any relationship between the content and impressionist art unless they were counting on the couple colors of beads used. I think they needed a catchy title, and that's what they came up with. Very sorry I pre-ordered without seeing any of it. Learned my lesson.

I was so looking forward to this book, the idea is excellent, however the content is very disappointing. The projects are scarce and uninspiring.

This review is from: Beadwork Inspired by Art: Impressionist Jewelry and Accessories (Paperback)
I was somewhat disappointed in this book considering who the contributing authors are.

Although the pieces did match the color and feel of the paintings depicted I felt that the designs should have been created in both medium and high quality materials. And perhaps 2 or more designs inspired from the same picture.
