By joing and combining simple bead 'ladders' she has created a collection of elegant neckpieces inspired by broadcollars - the dramatic jewellery worn by the ancient Egyptians. Julia has re-invented the form - a broad beaded necklace - to create 10 original designs in an array of beautiful colours and styles. Use a basic ladder, build a custom-sized template, choose a colour palette and create the decorative layers, pendants and netting to add just the right finish. |
