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!

Bracelet - Blue Matte Peyote


Before I began embroidering jewelry pieces in 2008, I experimented with Peyote Stitch. I love the silky feel of the beaded bracelet bases, and the way they fit as a cuff bracelet. The center row and the edge ruffles are stitched onto the beaded base. These matte blue beads came from Shipwreck beads, and the pearly button is from a fabric store. Completed in December of 2006.
