Tiny “Trinkets” Come to Life with Elaborate Sculptural Beading

Hello Tangle's Hello Trinkets

Hel­lo Tan­gle is a col­lab­o­ra­tion between two sis­ters named Bibi and Veron­i­ca from Mel­bourne, Aus­tralia. Togeth­er, they cre­ate col­or­ful, tex­ture-filled weav­ings. But late­ly, they’ve ven­tured into Hel­lo Trin­kets —bead­ed cre­ations that you can hang in var­i­ous places.

These small, abstract pieces are feasts for the eyes. They fea­ture lay­ers of bead­ing, embroi­dery stitch­es, and of course, bright col­or! As I embark on my own 1 Year of Stitch­es project, this sculp­tur­al approach to tex­tiles is a fan­tas­tic source of inspiration.

This sort of craft­ing is in Bibi and Veron­i­ca’s blood. In an inter­view with The Weav­ing Loom, Bibi explains:

Our mum has always been a knit­ter and hand quil­ter and has always encour­aged us to be crafty. We could nev­er find any books or mate­ri­als on weav­ing so we taught our­selves, orig­i­nal­ly exper­i­ment­ing with home­made card­board looms and our mum’s knit­ting wool and cooking/household twine.

That’s a nice reminder that you don’t need to have a bunch of fan­cy mate­ri­als to cre­ate great work—just get started.

Bibi and Veron­i­ca sell their work in the Hel­lo Tan­gle Etsy shop.

Hello Trinkets are beads on beads on beads.
