A universe of beads

Margaret Nazon, a Canadian artist, uses beads to create celestial bodies.

Margaret grew up in the Northwestern Territories as part of the Gwich'in peoples, and started beading at the age of ten.   When she was shown pictures from the Hubble telescope, the artist was inspired to create her own vision in beads; versions of which you can see here.
