Ancient Worlds, Modern Beads

'Ancient Worlds, Modern Beads' brings the themes of ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt completely up to date for the modern beadweaver, combining the styles of genuine artefacts and the essence of ancient art with tiny seed beads. Ten designs from each region showcase the colours, patterns, and styles easily recognised in the precious artefacts displayed in the world's museums. Each project is directly inspired by these classical cultures - from mythology and daily life, to the materials used by ancient artisans.
