Handmade Bead Woven Jewelry for Special Occasions by Patricia C Vener
Autumn Goddess ŠPatricia C Vener, 2006
I like to assign myself challenges and this one was to use colors that, until then, were not ones I normally choose. At the same time, I wanted to create a work of art that combined weaves and stitches not normally worked together in the same piece. This experimentation in combining weaves has become one of the trademarks of my bead weaving but at the time, it was a new step for me. With "Autumn Goddess" I set myself on a new course in my art that continues to lead me to exciting areas of experimentation with wondrous results. "Autumn Goddess" is adjustible from 19 to 20.5 inches though I can adapt this to be both longer or slightly shorter. She comes wrapped in tissue and nestled in a velvet lined velvet gift bag and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and care instructions. Price: $635.00 USD.
$635.00Lace Me Up ŠPatricia C Vener, 2011
With "Lace Me Up" I again answered two challenges. First, to choose a couture image and create a work inspired by it. Second to use neutral colors instead of my beloved bright and varied palette. This gave me the chance to add another facet to my repetoire; bead woven bezeling of highly polished cabochons. I do not glue my cabs to any surface but rather they are firmly captured by the beaded bevel itself. Additionally, it also was the perfect stage to include my own invented chain link weave, (I call it the Vener Chain Stitch but Step by Step calls it Look of Links - since they published a project I wrote using the stitch, I let them call it anything they want)."Lace Me Up" turned out to be one of my most amazing successes even though I did not finish it in time to formally enter it into the couture challenge. This stunning work of art comes wrapped in tissue and tucked into a velvet lined velvet bag for safekeeping as well as a certificate of authenticity and care instructions. Price: $2,100.00 USD
$2,100.00La Doņa ŠPatricia C Vener, 2010
"La Doņa" was inspired by "Phoenix Feathers," a pair of earrings I created a while ago to wear with my eight yard red and yellow cotton sari. I love how the vintage iridescent red beads shimmer and shift color not unlike my sari, in fact. Swarovski yellow crystal bicones and their larger red cousins add even more dancing sparkle. The seed beads are also faceted on one side and this adds even more sparkle as the facets reflect the light that strikes them. "La Doņa" comes wrapped in colorful tissue and tucked safely into a velvet lined velvet bag, It also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and care instructions. Price: $768.00 USD
