Today I wish to shaw you some photos of that beautiful antique french beaded work ... My work as beaded jewelery designer was totally inspired by this work... From early 1900 to 1950 it was mostly used for funerary art:sophisticated crowns or bouquet sometimes enriched with biscuits angels or majolica flowers...
White beads where offen used ,also purple and lilac,grey and black...
These are some beaded crowns of my collection
My son Etienne helps me to clean up a gorgeous white and soft blue star beaded crown
Bonjour Isabelle !
Ah, je suis bien contente que tu aies un blog, je suis très admirative de ton Etsy shop, quelle diversité et quel gout !
J'ai pensé à toi récemment car j'ai vu les fameuses lettres perlées sur une tombe.
Je reviendrai, c'est sur !
