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!

The Tubular Series: Blue Russian


Like the red Russian pendant, this signed miniature painting of blue flowers is charming and called for a setting that wouldn't overpower it. Adding galvanized Czech silvery beads to the light blue, both in size 11, brought out the natural spiral in the Tubular Peyote rope necklace. A silver disc toggle clasp and matching earrings completed the set. Completed 11-14-09 >>MPK
