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: Tiger and Grey


The stone called Tiger Eye is actually quartz which has infiltrated and petrified asbestos into this beautiful material. Since the chatoyance travels only in one direction, I set the two stones so that their axes glow in opposite directions, making the pendant distinctive no matter which way it is turned. The pendant hangs from Tubular Peyote rope and a pair of coraling earrings complete the set. Completed 11-17-09 >>MPK
