SHIRLEY MUNDY
BEADED CUBE CHRISTMAS TREE
Shirley’s Cube Christmas Tree is covered in a hand bead woven mesh made up of red silver lined beads in a herringbone pattern. ‘Icicles’ of green beads lie on the top surface and hang down from lower surfaces forming the foliage. Beaded presents sit at the base and an ‘alternative’ fairy sits on the top.
BIOGRAPHY
Shirley has always been involved with creative crafts. Starting with
dressmaking, patchwork and toymaking, Shirley became involved with beading 20 years ago after attending a weekend course. For the last 7 years she has been developing her work, learning how to turn her technical skills into artforms. She has had one of her designs published in a beading magazine and been a finalist in a number of competitions.
Shirley runs a weekly craft group in Southsea and a monthly beading workshop in Bosham, West Sussex. She also runs occasional workshops in residential homes with elderly residents, a number of carers groups and teaches individuals with one-to-one lessons. She is currently the Chairman of the Portsmouth & District Embroiderers' Guild.
Sue Paraskeva, 2008
Sue’s work was selected from an open submission where arc artist members were invited to respond in a creative way to the concept of ‘Christmas Tree’. She has hand made 100 porcelain discs to produce a hanging decoration the size of a small tree.
