Art Bead Scene is an interactive
blog with the goal of uniting bead artists of all materials and the jewelry
designers who use art beads in their work.
One of the methods they use to encourage creativity is to run a monthly inspiration photo and ask everyone to create a piece that reflect the spirit of
the photo, either mood, setting, colours, any combination.
I decided to give it a try, mainly
because I have some wonderful art beads just begging to be used. I created this
necklace back at the beginning of the month:

The focal of this necklace, and
the item that qualified it for inclusion in the blog and their Flickr group
photos is the gorgeous handmade Lampwork drop bead.
I made hand shaped and hammered
copper drops to complement it and used Carnelian gemstone beads and fire
polished green glass beads to bring out the varied colours. Everything is strung on a copper wire and
wrapped with a second copper wire which keeps all the pieces nicely in place.
Here is the inspiration photo, the
Capriccio Padovano painted by Bernardo Bellato in 1741:
