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!

Midsummer in Moscow



I finished "Midsummer in Moscow" before the end of May, 08. The central cabochon is a painted lacquer piece I purchased a while ago. The pin on the back was less than safe, so I removed it with my flush-cut nippers. This pin was not signed, only had the number 29 painted on the back which probably means it was painted by an apprentice. The beaded flowers echo the small flowers in the painting. The clasp is a shell butterfly button with a tiny Swarovski red crystal nestled in the other hole. This bracelet is very textured.. >>MPK
