| NATIVELY INSPIRED the jewelry of DALE ANNE BARBICK |
| Each creation a one of a kind original crafted from precious and semi-precious stone beads. Accented with antique collector tribal beads from around the world! To be Natively Inspired is to be fascinated by all things hand crafted by the peoples of this planet. We are a wealth of many cultures and ideas that influence our bodily ornamentation. Ethnic/indigenous, whatever you want to call it I am truly NATIVELY INSPIRED! When designing my jewelry pieces, I love to use the following: |
| +Artist designed and created pendant pieces. +Hand made silver beads by the people of Bali. +Hand crafted silver, amber, copal, turquoise, coral and shell from the people of Tibet. +Beautiful glass and silver beads from India. I love those little bells. +I often use the beading techniques from the native peoples of North America and South Africa. +There are wonderful hand carved jade beads from China. +Hand painted porcelain beads from the Japanese. +The Hill Tribe people of Thailand make wonderful .999 fine silver beads. +The nomadic tribes of the Middle East create beautiful pieces of metal, lapis, and coins. +Coptic crosses of coin silver from Ethiopia. +There are antique beads from Africa 200 years and older once used for trade. +Beautiful mille-fiore from Italy. +From the Eastern Europe there is a bonanza of vintage crystal and pressed glass beads. +Beads from nature herself:seeds, wood, shells, and bones. +Last but not least....I enjoy fabricating from silver, bead, clasps, and pendants inspired by nature. +Water color art pendants created by Helena Nelson- Reed at www.lapizmoon.com What an incredible bounty of inspiration just waiting to be experienced! |
