Beaded pieces

Evening weight. Heavier than it photographs, and the film says so.

Beading is hand work, and it is the reason a piece weighs what it does. We film these slowly and close in, because a photograph flattens beadwork into a pattern and hides how much of it is really there. Most of them come from Dubai. They are usually one-offs or very small runs, so when one is gone it is gone — the piece screen tells you which kind you are looking at before you pay.
