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!

Autumn Bounty



In February of 07, I wanted to make myself a necklace using the strip panel technique. The central element is a moss agate slice with an interesting shape that looked to me like an opening hand. So the motif is the smaller stones "tumbling out of" that piece. Here again, as is so common with purples, the scanner does not do the colors justice. The color is more toward the rosy-red, especially the area just below the opening of the moss agate piece. That section is actually a matte golden red. There are agate and jasper beads of golden, brown and vasilene green as well as several bronze colored pearls. I love wearing this piece. >>MPK
