Bead Inspired: Silent Movie Icon Gloria Swanson

ABS Editor, Cindy Gimbrone writes about inspiration on her blog, Lampwork Diva. Looking for inspiration in history she decided to take a look at the silent movie era, the same era that Kandinsky painted Color Study - the inspiration for this month's challenge. It may inspire you to submit something for this month's challenge - bead inspired!


Super silent star Gloria Swanson is still big "it's the pictures that got small" but her jewelry was always superstar quality. Below are just a few wonderful pictures appearing courtesy of Silentladies.com.



Do you see elements in design that get your creative juices flowing? Use the color palette of Kandinsky and combine them with you inspiration - ABS looks forward to seeing what you come up with!
