My latest piece


"Break Forth" is a porcelain cabochon with a beadworked bezel and beadstitched Ndbele herringbone tubular "chain" with brickstitch sections, in pretty spring pastel colors.

My first bead embroidery


I just finished a recent project that I had set aside due to the month or two I took to make Christmas gifts. I was having trouble getting the edging to look right. Finally sat down with it early in the week and got it! I think this may be a new favorite stitch - or a close second to peyote anyway. I like the way it came out, and because it's my first I kind of wanted to keep it, but it's really too flashy for me, so I put it up on etsy for sale. So here it is.
