Aprés Ski

ApresSkiWe have a new appreciation for those blank wooden beads found in many craft stores after seeing the creations of Barcelona-based designer Lucia Vergara. These pieces sold under the brand, Aprés Ski, are made primarily of glossy hand-lacquered wooden beads often painted with stripes, dots, grids and marbling effects. They are connected with a brass chain and are sometimes embellished with brass and ceramic beads. The jewelry are available in her store here at Big Cartel.

Brokenfab

BrokenFabImpressed by the beadwork created by Swiss designer Fabienne Morel. Her designs combine three of her passions: beading, dancing and textiles. The bold geometric designs are heavily influenced by ‘80s and ‘90s club and pop culture as well as post-modernist designs. Her mosaic silk scarves are often based on the beading patterns, and visa versa. Find out more about the collection on their label and website, Brokenfab.
