Celestial Paradise

The Inspiration
As soon as Stephanie said she was going to bead Birds of Paradise as her project I had full faith she would do it, and I could picture them... and more importantly I could picture exactly the look of the vessel I wanted to put them in.

But of course I don't like not adding lots of variations so couldn't resist playing around with the idea to create multiple components with or without Rivolis and lots of ways to play with colour.

Celestial
I envisioned a project using geometric shapes which, when combined, would give me a star motif and I spent a lot of time experimenting with the shapes to get them to look exactly as I wanted.

Celestial combines advanced geometric beadwork with different sizes & shapes of beads and optional Rivolis to create a series of beaded vessels with optional Lids/ Ornaments.

Inspired by starry skies, Celestial uses multiple geometric based components that can be used in a variety of different ways and the instructions will cover many of these.
