Our first two pieces this week come from Elizabeth Thompson.

Here is a piece that I charted from a postcard that I received from France! I loved the cats so much that I had to bead it! The body is done in peyote and the strap is in spiral, with a fringe that I made up (but I am sure that someone else has done this before) and kitty cat charms! (40k) |
 |
The second piece is from a book by Sheri Nelson, called Alaska in Beads it's "Polar Bear looking at the Northern Lights" - the straps will have a rattail strap attached to it, although a co-worker thought that it would be cool hanging on a belt. (47k) |
| This two entries were sent in by Red Ventling. | |
 |
I have fallen totally in love with dutch spirals. The purple spiked spiral pattern and kit were designed by Rayney King of Raynmarked Designs; it is done with size 11's, 6's and 8's accent beads for the spiral portions and larger accent beads for the neck straps. (16k) |
 |
The second dutch spiral was the same spiral pattern that Rayney designed. I was curious to see what a spiral would look like with a lampwork bead in the center. I love dutch spirals; they are so versatile. (25k) |
| This next piece is by Ruth Franklin. | |
 |
This project started out as a simple pouch using the Easter Bunny pattern from BeadyBoop's pattern, then I got a little carried away and ended up with this extravagant thing. My favorite part is the carrots made from tubular peyote stitch. (52k) |
