Retro Reverie is a captivating and vibrant piece that showcases intricate beadwork arranged in visually striking patterns. This artwork is a harmonious blend of colors and textures, where beads in greens, yellows, purples, blues, pinks, and blacks come together with white spots as highlights. The beadwork forms swirling designs, reminiscent of abstract concentric circles, meticulously outlined in black to create distinct sections that interact in a symphony of hues.
The inspiration behind Retro Reverie sprang from a magnified mushroom print, which evoked a nostalgic connection to the fun and spontaneous color blocking of the 90s. This whimsical yet grounded influence led to the creation of a beaded hat, designed to complement the vibrant garments of the same collection. Unique in its creation, Retro Reverie marks the artist's second exploration into beaded hat art, bringing a fresh, playful twist to traditional beadwork.
