Statement

Beads are the medium I use to express my artistic ability which comes to fruition with the use of primary colors and bold, playful styles.    I’m passionate about creating wearable art. Beading allows me to take my creative ideas and combine them with my love of fashion.  I enjoy all aspects of beading from the idea, the creation, the act of beading and the final results ….a wearable piece of art.  My inspiration comes from a picture, painting, clothing or something colorful and then trying to interpret it into a beaded piece of wearable art. I’m always trying to push the boundaries of beading to express my creativity as fully as possible.  Color is my biggest influence. I see everything in the world, from people to nature in terms of color and it inspires me to create.  Beading is my first love and I’ve always been faithful to it. I’ve never worked in any other medium. - Suzanne Golden   website: www.suzannegolden.com mail: suz.golden@verizon.net

These photos are really nice. Do you use a macro lens to get close enough to the beads to keep the clarity of them, or do you use a zoom lens?

In response to the question about my photographs....all photographs are taken by Robert Diamante.....a professional photographer known for his jewelry photography.
