Lovingingly handmade jewelry. Bespoke, both upscale and earthy. Organic.
Sculptural Beadwork Masks
These beadwork masks are constructed using multiple sculptural beadweaving techniques. Each one is formed over a unique cast armature from a real human face.
I explain to people that the weaving is actually a sculpture. A beadwork sculpture. Imagine, if the armature were to dissolve, the weaving would retain the shape of the face.
Each bead goes on one at a time with needle and sturdy thread. Two months to complete.
