For this post, I thought I would answer a question I got in a comment on my last entry. In the previous post, Purple Plaid Rings, I talked about the fact that the finish wore off of some of the beads that I used.

Private collectionThis is just not a good representation of these rings, but here it is anyway. They are odd little things to begin with, but I liked them. I made them to go with the Purple Plaid Bracelet I made for myself (one of the few pieces I do not mind making over and over).Unfortunately, I did not get documentation… Read more →
Private collection This bracelet turned out so graphic and cool looking. It was tiny, at least compared to my wrist. I think it measured about 5 1/2″ x 1″, with it’s silver-toned hook & eye clasp. This stitch done in thread is very supple and fabric like, even in the chunky triangle beads it is made with. Read more →

Private collectionOnce again, I had to answer the question, “What do you bead for the men in your life?” I made this amulet bag for my Dad, for Fathers Day a few years ago. I tried very hard to keep it as masculine as possible. The fringe got a little out of hand, but I could not help myself. I… Read more →
