If you love fine-art beadwork, you should know about a new book showcasing some truly inspiring designs. Adornment: The Art of Barbara Natoli Witt features a collection of Barbara's ornate, highly detailed necklaces which combine tapestry techniques with old beads, artifacts, and heirloom found objects.
A result of four decades of design experimentation and technique development, these designs really are like nothing you've seen before.
Adornment is available for purchase through Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com, Books-a-Million and other book stores.
Save the date: If you're in the New York area, you have a chance to learn more about the book and meet Barbara in person. She has personally invited About.com Beadwork readers to attend a celebratory book event on October 11, 2011, at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City.
There will be a screening and talk by the author, Lois Sherr Dubin, and a Question and Answer session with both Lois and Barbara. The event begins at 7:30pm. (If you're able to attend, please come back and post a comment -- we'd love to hear about it!) For a full view of your invitation, visit NecklaceArt.com.
