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: Red Russian


A hand-painted Russian lacquer pendant was the inspiration for this necklace. The signed piece is enclosed such that the signature on the back can still be seen. Since this method of bead enclosure remains on the edge of the piece, no glue is needed. A magnetic clasp is hidden in the "flower" on the rope. Coraling earrings complete the set. Completed 3-23-10 >>MPK
