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: For Marilyn


In May, I got a request to enclose a special Tiger Eye pendant for a friend. This cabochon was already in a golden-colored bezel setting which didn't need to be removed. I stitched around the cabochon in the bezel as if it was an entire cabochon, covering the old bezel. Gold galvanized beads were added to the Cafe Latte #11 Czech bead mix from Beadwrangler, to match the golden leaf clasp and the matching earrings. Completed 6-11-10 >>MPK
