As I have said before, I like TV. Or rather, I love TV. So I watch TV when I bead. When I am working on the bead embroidery, I like to watch Tudors. The overly lush costuming and extravagant jewelry always shows me a more traditional art style that I can bring into my modern interpretation. In many ways the pieces we see are someone else's recreation. They are lush combining fabrics you want to hold with stone you wish you owned.
There is a broach worn by Anne of Boleyn in the end of the first season. It has dripping pearls and emeralds that are lined in beads. It is given to her by Henry at the beginning of her seduction. She eventually wears it on a lavish green dress. The piece has stuck with me and I hope to design a necklace based on this piece.
Where do you find inspiration?
