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!

A Sense of Place


The central cabochon in this wide bracelet is a rare piece of

Pennsylvania Agate cut by MacNeil. It is accented by beads and chips of Baltic Amber from Poland. The clasp bead is Black Jasper from India. In the black areas of the design are matte black bugle hexs and shiny black Czech hexs. The overall design is accented by silver beads.The bracelet sits on the wrist such that the stone is centered, but the swirl design calls to mind something in constant motion. Very dramatic!! Completed 7/08 >>MPK
