Today I would like to introduce an artist that I particularly like: the beaded art work of old lady Lucia Antonelli. She not only does beading, but strictly speaking, she is an artist and a university teacher. She usually paints oil paintings, and her works are relatively abstract. The landscape sketches, carefully sampled, all have a retro flavor in them.

Her beading works are all in European retro style, with a strong sense of mystery and a strong sense of nationality. Through the orderly arrangement of designs, they are full of personality, and it is difficult to imitate and make exactly the same works.

Antique beads are often used for weaving flat patterns and are generally available in the following sizes. Miyuki Antique Beads DIY from Japan, Miyuki’s antique beads have a bumpy three-dimensional sense, which can be shining light or textured frosted, good at expressing exquisite patterns and abstract emotions.
