Here is an amulet purse done in tubular peyote stitch
that I am particularly proud of. The front and back show images of the two
labs owned by my best friend, Bonnie. I made this for her as a present. The
fringe is supposed to represent a lush forest scene: Done with several shades
of green, there are many beaded leaves, along with 2 shades of green glass
leaves. I searched for a proverb about dogs and beaded it into the strap. The
patterns of both dogs were generously done for me from actual photos by Dona
Anderson - a true artist and wonderful person! I also want to thank Suzanne
Cooper, since her strap pattern in "Lemonade" inspired me to try my hand at
doing the beaded proverb!

The center is an Amazonite donut that I created a unbacked beaded bezel with
"straps" through the center. Then attached some short fringe to the straps
at the center and other embellishments like one I saw in Bead & Button
last year. The necklace is a spiral rope. Although it looks like two
different spirals, they are the same except that the lower portion has a
pearl on each loop.

MarLin Beads created these covered rings and created a peyote core (can be
seen in gallery 48) called "Rings of Saturn". Here is another great use for
the rings, make several and hang them on a chain of your choice. One of the
rings becomes the toggle for this double spiral necklace.
