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: Geode Crystal


Years ago, when I was into cracking geodes to view their beautiful insides, I had a smallish one that remained in my cabochon box for a while. As I developed the skills to enclose it in beads I gradually saw it as a pendant rather than as a pin. The piece has both crystals and druzy crystals which show as a white patch in the picture. A small dangle of clear crystal beads adds to the pendant. The smooth matte charcoal-grey Czech #11 beads which compliment it were purchased at a show. I have never seen them again. Completed 1-10 >>MPK
