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!

Terra Strata



I ran away from my usual color palette with this bracelet. I wanted to see what I could accomplish in the Brown family. Also, the wavy horizontal form is a departure. It reminded someone of rock strata, thus the name. The central stone is a cabochon of Fancy Jasper from India. The bracelet also contains cranberry-colored and bronze pearls. One stratum is made up of Carnelian nuggets and another Picasso Jasper. Bronze bugles and Unakite chips make up others. June, 08.
