I Love Beads!

When I'm not busy working dyes, paints, and fabric, I love to create one-of-a-kind freeform beaded bracelets. I start making bead soup by dumping a various beads in a pile until I get the colors and shapes I love. Then I start with a peyote stich base and create as I go. What could be more fun! This bracelet features copper metallic glass beads and a copper toggle clasp.

I love red!
Blues are great!

Hi!
Today I'm creating the labels for the ATCs in the upcoming CYBER FYBER exhibition. This provided me the opportunity to peek in on your wonderful. I adore your beaded jewelry but your post about the zoning issue and the resulting artistic exhibition really is wonderful. I hope the work makes those city officials think about their decision! I love your rusted pulley wheels. Thanks for sharing this.
