Earth Tones Bead Print Outdoor Pouf

This design is literally “artwork of other artwork.” I love to create beautiful things, and I am an avid maker of beaded jewelry. The many beads in this piece are from several different sets of foot jewelry, or “barefoot sandals” which I created, and sell on Etsy. I have these pieces hanging neatly in my studio, and as I stared at them one day, the natural bronzes, ambers, browns, and golds of several of the pairs seemed to blend together into what I thought might make a pretty picture. I tend to sell the most of these particular colors, as they are the prettiest on all the freshly tanned skin of summer. So I took just those sets and piled them all together in one big clump, and photographed them in natural light. This was one of my favorite shots, and I hope others can appreciate it as I do.
