Beaded Maths

What happens if you cross bead work with mathematics?

You get incredible mathematically inspired bead sculptures and jewellery!

Scheepjes Whirl - yarn to die for

My new favourite - the fingering weight yarn called Sheepjes Whirl.

I made a couple of shawls and just love them.





Jhumkas - Traditional Indian Earrings

I love them! The designs are endless, the materials are abundant, they are so feminine and playful.
The ancient design resembles the inverted woven basket, adorned with the hanging parts around the rim.
Love, love, love!
Will try to make a replica using my Japanese seed beads.
