Our
first two pieces this week come from Anne Checker.
|
My second loom piece, made for my mom. She collects turtles, so I thought
a fish scene including a turtle would be a cute present. I designed the whole
thing myself! It is made with Dnya-Mytes.

I took a class and learned the technique, and
then I adapted it to even count and designed my own people. "Goozie" is my sister,
she always wears overalls and is carrying my black cat, Darryl. "Count Vladimir" is
a vampire, of course! I found the cream colored beads and thought that they would be
perfect for the pale flesh of the "undead." "Drusilla" is a herb witch. She is all dressed up for the harvest festival, complete with flowers in her hair and a basket full of flowers. (She also has green underwear, which my little cousins and niece find QUITE amusing!)

It's 2-sided, so there are 2 scans (front & back).
The "fringe fish" are borrowed from a Deon DeLange book (Techniques of
Beaded Earrings, I think). I finished the bag 2 days before your dolphin
pattern with the other fringe fish went up! You may also recognize the strap
(I hope so anyway!) from Seahorse Love.

The first bag I designed from scratch using the bead design program called BeadPlan. It
was a gift for my son's fiancee, whose role-playing game character is a
gypsy. I used gilt-line Japanese seeds, and a little bit of everything
in the fringe and strap!

I tried your herringbone chain. Enjoy working it very much. I've taken
it a step further. I like to mount tumbled stones in beads, so I work
the chain for a while (length dependent on what I want), and then make a
net to enclose the stone. When I close the net, I continue with the
chain. It makes an unusual piece.

This is a scan of a bag that was made
using your "Mesh Bag in Right Angle Weave". At the time i saw this
pattern i was in need of a little "balance" in my hectic life and what a
perfect place to display such a strong symbol! (and what a perfect time
to try a little right angle weave!!) I made it a little simple so that
i can wear it everyday.....as it should be!
