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!

Hot, Red, and Hefty


The Czech pressed red/gray flame-like beads were the inspiration for this peyote stitch bracelet. I placed them with matte red Japanese beads, and stitched with red Silamide thread. This is another of a series of embellished peyote-stitch bracelets. In my experience, bracelets like these with embellishments are time-consuming to construct, but the results are so worthwhile! This is a thick and substantial bracelet, and a joy to wear. Completed 3-07. >>MPK
