This is a leather and cabachon bag that I learned in a class recently. The leather is from Teri at the ABS, who sent me some fabulous leather scraps for this project (in return she used a pattern of mine in the Alaksa Bead Society Newsletter). I used a carnelian cabachon and beaded around it in khaki green beads and used the same stone as the accent on the fringe. (32k) |

I saw the turkey and decided to send this scan. I made 'my guys' about 2 or 3 years ago. The pin is made in 11's while the earrings are 14 hex. I got them from the same book, Jeanette Shanigan's Beaded Holiday Earrings. I just adapted the pin in 14 hex for the earrings. Whenever I wear them, I get compliments. (11k) |

A beaded rose that is appliqued and backed with buckskin. I then attached it to a wrapped hoop with freeform weaving. In the weaving you will find Czech crystals and frosted amethyst accent beads. I enjoy applique beading as my favorite technique and loom beading without a loom as my second. I have been beading for eight years now and probably will continue to bead until I either can't see anymore or my fingers give out! (LOL). This particular piece was recently shipped out to New York and hopefully found it's way into the possession of an appreciative collector. I will miss it as it was one of my personal favorites.

I modeled this face on a statue that was dug up at Deir el Bahri at Hatshepsut's mortuary temple. It bears her face on the sphinx. her nephew defaced statues of her as Pharaoh after her death. She was his aunt and step-mother, but the fact that she set herself up as Pharaoh after her spouse's death meant Thutmoses III had to wait 10 -15 year to take the throne as Pharaoh himself. Interestingly statues of him resemble her. It is in square stitch with up to three layers of beads square stitched on top of each other to give the 3-d effect. The strap is in brick stitchwith larger beads and button for the closure I bought from Good Medicine Beads, and is hand made. (33k) |

This is one of my loomed pictures. I did these wolf's eyes for my son's 21 birthday. The loomed piece is 4" wide and about 14" long. For this piece I used a cross stitch pattern. The piece was mounted and framed and now hangs in my son's room I have been beading about 10 years and enjoy loomwork the best. I have done otheer loomed pictures and also do loomed necklaces. I am a retired mother who has returned to finish college, to get my degree in art. (22k) |
