I wanted to spend this week looking back at all of my entries from the Art Bead Scene's 12 Contests. I LOVED the inspiration this year which was all paintings, mostly from Grand Masters. It's been a challenging and fun year of creating and I hope the inspiration this year is equally as fun!
January - Van Gogh's Irises
I adore Van Gogh and have been to several exhibits featuring his work and this painting is one of my all time favorites.

And here is the necklace I created. The beads for this piece are truly stunning. You can find more info on the beads in this post. They are truly stunning in person.
February - Klimt's The Kiss
Probably my favorite painting of all time! I love all the gold leafing in this painting in addition to how intimate yet sweet the imagery is.


March - Matisse's The Goldfish
This painting overwhelmed me with color but oddly enough, I had a bunch of goldfish left over from a custom order!

Check back tomorrow on http://hollysfollybeads.blogspot.com to see my entries from April, May and June.

Cool post Holly! It's amazing you managed to participate every single month. I thought about it every month, but think I only entered one. Oops! Can hardly wait to see the rest of your entries for 2009!
