The Projects

My Celestial series of beadwork is formed of beaded Vessels along with coordinating Stoppers which can also be Pendants or Ornaments (the written & video instructions cover a variety of sizes).

The Vessels (which can also be beaded as Spheres) are formed of geometric components which can have Rivolis at their centre if desired (the instructions cover both options) and there is a huge range of possibilities with colours & variations.

My inspiration was the concept of beading a Vessel using components 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 (which includes 16 online videos you can watch at any time) will cover many of these.

The finished Vessel is approximately 9½ cm/ 4 inches tall (without a Stopper on) and 11cm cm/ 5½ inches across at the widest point
