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!

Recalling Ancient Egypt


This royal embroidered necklace pendant piece began with the inspiration of the luscious Lapis Lazuli drop-shaped cabochon, cut by MacNeal. It is surrounded by matte cobalt Czech bugle beads, tiny gold beads and accents of bronze pearls. The cabochon has a lot of sparkly pyrite inclusions, which are matched by the golden accents. This piece was completed 1-08. >>MPK
