Venetian Tapestry

Venetian Tapestry

Description of works

Sharyn Seibert's beautiful handmade jewelery evokes memories of stained glass windows and Byzantine mosaics.

On her frequent travels to Italy and France she receives inspiration from the rich colours, textures and shimmering light of the sparking glass in Notre Dame Cathedral, the mosaics in St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, and the multi-coloured sparkle of the centuries-old mosaics in Ravenna Italy.
She combines these opulent colours and textures into exquisite botanical imagery such as blossoms, tiny leaves and intertwining flowers.

The mirror-like iridescent beads she uses reflect the subtle shades of any outfit, creating a dynamic fashion statement. Finished works can be purchased or commissioned for weddings, day wear or high couture.

Want to know what a dream vacation would be for me?

It would be wonderful to take people to Italy and do beading workshops. We would stay in an ancient villa and work with all kinds of sparkling beads, becoming inspired by the landscape and art that we would see. We would go to Venice as part of the trip and visit Murano, where the glass works are. There we would purchase unusual handmade beads and incorporate them into our jewelery. I want to share my love of Italy with its mouthwatering food, breathtaking scenery and invigorating music. I particularly am enchanted with Barga, the exquisite jewel of Tuscany. Why has this little town of 4500 people not been discovered, except by the fortunate few? It is overflowing with musical, artistic and culinary creativity. If one took all the favourite parts of Florence and left out the dodgy parts, it would be Barga. Every view is a photo opportunity.
