MOD style

 

In momentul in care am citit titlul concursului "Stilul MOD" trebuie sa recunosc ca am ramas destul de... gura-casca. Dupa o explorare a internetului (multumesc Cristina pentru ca m-ai provocat sa invat ceva nou!) o imagine mi-a ramas in primul rand in minte. Nu stiu daca va amintiti seria jandarmilor cu Louis de Funnes. Acesta avea o fata... frumusica, subtirica si destul de a naibii... iar fata avea niste rochii extrem de mini si extrem de colorate. Culori puternice, forme geometrice clare, rochii mini... si putin din soarele din Saint Tropez: in acel moment plasez eu stilul MOD.

Din pacate, desi am realizat acest colier pentru acel concurs, nu am apucat sa il termin la timp. Colierul este realizat din patrate si hexagoane tesute din margele de nisip dupa modelul din cartea Dianei Fitzgerald (Shaped Beadwork), si din agate (mov, portocaliu, verde lamaie) de o forma extrem de speciala valurita. Deoarece formele geometrice sunt tesute in doua straturi, ele sunt relativ rigide, isi pastreaza forma fara nici o problema.

 

When I read the title of a bead competition here "MOD style" I was quite flabbergasted. After some net explorations, there was one image that mainly stuck to my mind. I don't know if you remember the gendarmes movies with Louis de Funnes. He had a daughter in them... pretty, thin and always causing troubles. And the daughter had some tiny very colourful dresses. Strong colours, clear shapes, mini dresses... and a little bit of the Saint Tropez sun. That's how I see the MOD style.

Unfortunately, even though I was planning to make this necklace for that competition, I couldn't finish it in time. The necklace is made of squares and hexagons beaded out of seed beads using a pattern from Diane Fitzgerald's book (Shaped Beadwork), and agates (light purple, orange and lemon green) with a nice wavy shape. As the beaded shapes are made in 2 layers, they are quite solid, have no problem in keeping their shape.
