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: Citronella


Obtaining these Japanese silver-lined dark topaz beads from Land of Odds inspired me to create this necklace with jasper and a piece of banded quartz crystal. This yellow/gold isn't a color I work with often, but it marries so well with Baltic amber that I can't resist. Besides, it's a 'Burgh thing.
Completed 2/11. >>MPK
