guest artist program
ABS is proud to announce its new Guest Artist Program! Beadventures has passed the torch to ABS in providing Anchorage classes. ABS will provide classes in bead arts by hosting a variety of guest artists, both local and out-of-state. You can expect some of the same artists that have been hosted by Beadventures, as well as new artists. You do not have to be an ABS member to take a class; classes are open to the public. Registration is required and students must read and agree to the ABS Class Policy .

About Cynthia
“My path to being an artist has always been driven by my desire to create something that is beautiful to me. I bead for myself, to satisfy my desire to create, to feed my soul. That others admire my work is a gift. If they see something in my work that appeals to them, that calls to them, then I am blessed indeed, as maybe they can see a glimpse of the part of me that is just following my heart.” Cynthia Rutledge P.S. The fantastic photos of my work were taken by Mark Rutledge. https://www.cynthiarutledge.net/ |

HRH Queen Elizabeth II loved wearing pearls, so I had to include that in the design. A basic bezel around a central CZ trillion begins an in-depth layering system of pearls, set CZs, netting and peyote stitch. The necklace was created in pearls using right-angle weave, ending in two CZ buttons and a connector for a lovely necklace fit for a Queen!
