I’m back! And here’s the plan for this month. I kept it down to 5 beads because I think this is going to take me forever. I am not, however, afraid of a challenge, and I think this will be a great measure of how far I’ve come during this study!
Again, Ojime beads were decorative beads made from all sorts of materials during Edo-era Japan. For my designs, I not only referenced actual Ojime beads but also other ceramic artworks from the same period. The first two beads (from left to right) are drawn directly from two artworks that you can find in this month’s gallery section, so go take a look!
