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!

Shielded



This is my first completely embroidered bracelet, cir. 3/08. The central cabochon is dichroic glass from L. Smith. The long bugle beads are Czech, and I bought them 15 years ago. Unfortunately the shop no longer has any of those. When I saw the cabochon in the collection, I knew these beads would be the perfect compliment. The clasp is a silvery button, but if I find a red glass button with the right sheen, I will probably replace it. I love wearing this - it reminds me of a glowing, sparkling stained glass window.
Yes, it is heavy; nothing exceeds like excess!! >>MPK
