This page was inspired by the beaded necklace I'm wearing today. Thing is, I found that ever since I satrted working with silver, I tend to think quite little of beads really, and I find myself thinking how borng is it to work with beads. Then, I wore my beaded necklace today wich gave me this idea of looking up beaded jewllery and here is what popped up.
When you take a look at the green lamp, which is the same colour used for the earings, you see that even though it's a whole cluster of beads put togther, the artsist became bould with their use of beads and colours which fall within the same range, ie blue mixed with the greens (also seen in the use of purple with purple and yellow). These elements help aid my brain in unifying the beads and reading them as one body rather than a whole mesh of beads put together hoping for a good outcome, they also make the lamps look light and not too heavy for the function they're meant to perform. They have a neat finish to them and are easy on the eye.
I found these rather out of the range of my tates earings, they are made from oval, round, square like and somewhat rectangular beads, with colours of the green family. They are shandelier like earings which entail quite a lot of beads. I domn't particularly fancy these earings because of one the way the beads and the shades of coulours is being used here, I feel that the two components would work better in differnt designs, cause for me here the beads feel overcrowded and the coulour wasn't explored enough for such a flamboyant design.

Having said that, I still love beads and beadwork, and the more I searched for beads and beadwork, I found these gorgeuos hand made wire and bead lamps. I love the creativity which went into the planning and making of these lamps, which is quite evident in the overall look of the two pieces. The colours used, they are not of the same 'family of reds or what not, but rather they still blend with eachother bacause they are all warm colurs which pretty much give off the same vibe/ feeling when one looks at the two pieces.
