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: Imperial Jasper


This purplish stone from Zacatecas, Mexico, called Imperial Jasper, also comes in green. The purple ranges from very pale to medium color and is often tinged with green. However this cabochon cut by MacNeal contains only the striped purple material. I married it with Japanese "frosted root beer" #11 beads in a simple enclosure and rope necklace. This necklace looks stunning against soft gray. Completed 10-25-09 >>MPK
