Miro Magic

 

Joan Miro was a famous 20th century surrealist painter & many of his paintings involved small objects in vast spaces, dot-like creatures, lots of lines & a mass of contrasting colors.  I’m really fond of his work because it seems both foreign & familiar.  These beads could easily be found floating along an immense blue space in the middle of one of his canvases.  Eight handmade glass beads in many bright shades with dots & stripes around every curve.  Varying in size from 14 x 9 mm (smallest beads) to 24 x 24mm (stars).
