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!

Cobalt Blue 3-cut Bracelet


The Czech republic has a way of making beads that is like no other! These tiny cut beads are faceted by hand all over and yet are called 3-cuts. They sparkle and shine, especially in sunlight or focused light. This bracelet is a part of a series of peyote-stitched bracelets I made featuring embellishments using the same beads as the background bracelet base. This bracelet was completed in 4-06. >>MPK
