This jewel-like book documents Kitchen and Back Yard, Lous extravagant domestic environments made entirely of tiny glass beadsmillions of them! In Kitchen, the walls, floors, stove , refrigerator, cabinets, tables, dishes, water in the sink, and even the debris in the dustpan are brilliantly encrusted. Even more mammoth in scale is the 600-square-foot Back Yard, with its quarter of a million beaded blades of grass, its beaded fruit trees, rose garden, clothesline, barbecue grill, and picnic table laden with food. Hallucinatory, witty, and sublime, these suburban dioramas are a breathtaking testament to one womans dazzling mission.
