The first beaded item on this page was sent in by Kay Zwart.
This necklace was quick and fun to make. Although it doesn't show up well on the scan, the wire is dark green; the squiggles and swirls were made by wrapping the wire around a pencil, etc. It took three passes with the wire to get it wide enough. If you decide to try it, be sure to load all the beads onto the wire BEFORE you start bending it up. The big blue round marble like bead was one I made in a recent glass bead making class with Rae Friedman of Good Medicine Beads. (22k)

This beaded artwork was sent in by Kim Price, AKA "Toronto".
The Princess and the Pea (Kim's Delica Challenge entry):
I decided to do a Fairy Tale as I have two small daughters and we read *a lot* of fairy tales!!! I also like my beadwork to be fun and whimsical and not particularly serious. Well executed, but not serious in nature. This piece is an 'art purse'. It will spend more time adorning my dresser than my body! :-) And, as much as I want it to be included in the upcoming Challenge book (fingers crossed), I'm dying to have it back. (67k)

This next beaded piece was sent in by Gwendolyn Kane.
This is Suzanne Cooper's design from her book, Then & Again. Started it on Easter and got it done today, the 27th. Must be some kind of record hehehe. I want to show it to you as I taught myself to bead starting from your site. THANKS! (42k)

This beading was sent in by Melanie Robbins of StrayBeads.
I took this dark green aventurine oval and surrounded it with light green aventurine hearts beads and gold Czech Supras. I call it "Florentine" because it evokes a rich, rather Italian feeling. (22k)
