Okay, you know where I’m heading tonight! I’ve actually been working on Alice themes and jewelry for a while; they just haven’t made it online because I’ve been tucking them away for publications. So let’s chat about Alice, motifs and beads.
Visually – charms and pendants are plentiful in these designs.
Rabbit :: Tea Party :: Mushrooms :: Hedgehogs :: Flamingos :: Queen of Hearts :: Roses :: Cards :: Cheshire Cat :: Bottles :: Keys :: Keyholes :: Watches :: Mirror :: Roses :: Books
Colors – find accent beads, ribbon, or focal beads in these colors.
Blue – from Alice’s iconic dress
Red & White – the queens & the mushroom
Black & White Stripes – thanks to Disney
Phrases – stamp them into metal or clay, print them out and use them in resin pendants or etch them unto copper or brass pendants.
Curiouser and curiouser
We’re all mad here
Off with her head
Drink me
Uncommon nonsense
Adventures first
Happy unbirthday
Here is a design by Lorelei Eurto that is a perfect example of putting together these elements tell a story.
Did I miss anything? Would you add something to the list above? I’d love to hear about it. Have you made Alice inspired jewelry that features art beads?
