Thanks to some of my beady Facebook friends I recently discovered the Etsy shop of Inviciti. A husband and wife beadmaker and jewelry designer team that creates work that is “a synthesis of styles including tribal, primitive, mystical, Gothic, Victorian, all with a lived-in, timeworn aura.”
Their ancient relic aesthetic fits so perfectly with our challenge theme this month so I just had to share their work with you.
The charms and pendants are lead-free pewter and they offer a line of religious icon resin pendants too. Their pewter comes in several different finishes with varying degrees of antiquing.
I’ll just let their photos do the talking and inspiring today…
Every piece in their shop could be used in as the art beads in our monthly challenge this round. I mean, just look at these charms and the painting below – you couldn’t have asked for a better match!
You can read about our Art Bead Scene Challenge here and I encourage you to enter. We know it’s a busy time of year – but you have to make gifts anyway, so just let your challenge do some double duty this month!
This week we are giving away a $20 gift certificate provided by Inviciti to use in their bead shop!!!
To enter share this post on any social media platform (Pin it, share it on Facebook or Twitter, etc.) and leave a comment letting us know you shared.
We’ll draw one random winner on Saturday.
Now that you are back after sharing the challenge it’s time for you to run off and discover all the amazing creativity you can find from Vincent and Nooma:
