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!

Mexican Lace & Shell


The brilliant cabochon of Mexican Lace Agate, cut by MacNeal held color challenge for me. The light shell beads and drops went well - but what to use for a clasp? I found the solution in this antiqued copper toggle that brings out the dark copper #11s that surround the cabochon. I added chips of Leopardskin jasper to make the necklace more interesting.
