Introduction and Welcome

Hello to Old Friends and New Friends!

Welcome to my Bead Designs Log, where I describe bead creations I have made and some backstory and inspirations where applicable.

I am creating this blog to have a place to show pictures of what I have made. At this time, some of these pictures are scans. I explain this because sometimes the colors are not "true"; and I will say so in the accompanying captions. When the time comes to re-photograph these items, I will replace or addend the pictures where I can.

It is also a place to solicit comments on my work. Please be kind. This is the closest I have ever come to having a gallery exhibition!

Enjoy!

Falling for Flowers



Another foray into the realm of Brown, this bracelet presented a special challenge because of the recurved cabochons which had to be back-padded and then beaded only at the very edge. This was accomplished with #15 beads. This bracelet is full of vintage Czech beads and carnelian nuggets. The antique-looking daisy button is new, however. The overall shape is graceful and feminine. >>MPK
