| Our first entry on this page was forwarded by Rosalie Harrison on behalf of her daughter Shannon. |
|
With the weather getting cooler Shannon decided she wanted to do something for Fall so I looked through all of my patterns I saved and she decided on doing your pumpkins, she doesn't like orange so she did them in more of a golden color. The strap is done by making small free standing peyote beads and a friend of ours gave her some nice wood beads that she put between them, the other side of the bag is leaves by Tracy Whittney, I think they compliment each other well.

Here is a picture of my very first beaded project. It is a bracelet with no
clasp, but is large enough to fit over my hand like a bangle. It is kind of
folded and bent on the scanner bed. Anyway, most of you are probably
thinking: those bugle beads are going to slice right through that thread!
And yes, they have, shortly after I scanned the piece. Any suggestions?
Also, you can see that my peyote is a little warped on the grey
sections...this happened while I was working the single strands into the
main piece. I'm thinking that using a smaller size thread for this part (or
for fringes on other pieces) may be helpful. Any other ideas?

Sealife:
Prior to beginning one of my prized bags, I will often spend days studying the world around me, and tuning to mother nature. My beautiful garden at my Southern California home is a strong influence on the choice of vivid colors and lively designs I use for each piece. Being close to the beach only 2 miles away, I spend time walking along the shore gathering shells and visualizing the designs I can draw from them.

| This set of pieces were sent in by bead knitter Cindy Hulsey. |
|
These are all bead knitted bags. Knitted with cotton thread and size
11 seed beads.
The first one is a coin purse with a 2 1/2" frame (clasp) and a
silver chain with a silk lining.
The second is a Pendant Bag, worn as a necklace. I don't put
anything in them, it ruins the "feel".
The third is also a Pendant bag but with a flap.
The fourth is a "Finger Purse". It is big enough to hold your
driver's license, credit card and lipstick. It is knitted with silk
thread and has a most luxuious feel. My favorite thread to knit with is
silk. This bag is done with black silk thread and a mix of
purple/greens/blue metalic size 11 seed beads.

| This beaded pouch was sent to us by Ann Brodrick of A&B Art Glass and Beadwork. |
|
Ann sent me this beautiful pouch as a gift recently. I love it! Every time I wear it I get a ton of compliments. The bag is done in two-drop peyote stitch. The seed beads are transluscent brown with a matte AB finish. The bag is accented with clear teardrops with a rootbeer mirror finish.
