Coming home to someone that will see me struggling with (upper back) pain and immediately move to alleviate it. 💜
Dodex-Machina is complete. Added 3mm heavy brass cylinders to define the edges.
🤖 👾 "Dodex-Machina" (1) This is what five layers of beads looks like This is the architecture of my thoughts A small subset of a vast landscape Macroscopic spaces separated into glass
Despite all the current heaviness, I hope you found something that brought you peace, joy or solace today. If not, that's okay. We'll try again tomorrow. Photo: @SummerStarrdust (IG)
I totally missed the #ArtAdventCalendar this year... But I'm always "up to something" DesignsByOnye.etsy.com
Another 'protruded' beaded-bead in progress. 5 layers without the protrusions. There will be 20 protrusions total. #DesignsByOnye #WIP #WorkInProgress
A recent visit to the Alexander Hotel in downtown Indianapolis. One of the many art pieces that I enjoyed seeing. I love this one because it feels like an outward expression of my creative thoughts and processes.
Keeping owl-hours again... Another beaded (thumb) ring. Heavy brass goldtone rice beads, 4mm Czech bicone dark amethyst glass beads, 13/0 silvertone charlottes, 14/0 black diamond AB charlottes. Triangle Weave and netting.
Small bit of beadwork made in the dark hours. (Other works are always in progress.) A 3-layered 'cigar-band' ring, made from 3mm fire-polished (bronze; topaz AB) crystals, and 13/0 black diamond AB charlottes. Triangle Weave. #DesignsByOnye #WearableArt #TriangleWeave #CrystalBeadwork
If you see this, post something monochromatic 🖤🤍 #art #drawing #GeometricArt
My coworker 3D printed 2 of these "sheets" for me. I'm going to use one to make an armband covered in beadwork (beaded-beads). Thinking of using the 2nd as a veil or headdress.
I call this collection "Beaded-bead Stew" since "Bead soup" usually consists of loose individual seed (and other) beads, collected over a long period of time. Some of these beaded-beads are more than 15 years old. The bright yellow one is one of my first "Particle" BBs.
My heart is a little less heavy after reminding myself that I did have a good time at #BridgesMathArt2025 (Photo of Sabetta & I after the fashion show)
#PortfolioDay I'm a geometric bead artist. Some wearable, some sculptural. All mathematical.
