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!

Royal Mosaic


This bracelet started with the beads rather than the central element. The #11 Frosted Russet Multi beads have fascinated me since I first laid eyes on them years ago, especially in combination with natural materials. I find them subtle, but always changing: never boring! The central cabochon is Fancy Jasper from India with a few red specks. I surrounded it with Fancy Jasper nuggets and Tiger Eye cubes. The clasp button is a Fancy Jasper bead. I built up the #11 beads into little fringes for texture and movement. Completed 7/08. >>MPK
