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!

Lady Mondegreen



This magnificent stone was purchased from a seller in the city. He wasn't certain of the origin or even the type of stone. It looks like white quartz included with one of the copper secondaries - malachite or greenish turquoise. It could also possibly be "mariposite". I was digging through an old jewelry stash and came across a sectioned bracelet with the silver leafy rectangles and the slide-box clasp. The small greenish barrels went perfectly with the cabochon. After taking apart the bracelet to use the barrel beads, I realized that the rest of the bracelet would be useful on the felt, too. Then it was a matter of filling in with the AB matte blue-green beads and dark green matte beads as well. The 4mm white cubes are AB matte coated, too. Early June, 08 >>MPK
