Christmas gifts

Here are the gifts I made for a few family members and a friend.


A suncatcher made of thousands of little seed beads for my father-in-law.



An amethyst and Swarovski crystal necklace with a lampwork pendant for my mother-in-law.



A Native-American style necklace with a pendant of a bear (sort of her totem), for my sister-in-law.

A wire necklace with a pendant of a scarab, bead woven with the square stitch for our friend.

My labor of love

This is a bead tapestry I made over a several-month period. Mainly because I kept getting called to work full-time, and would have to put it away for a week or two in order to keep up with daily necessities.


It has over 28,000 Delica seed beads in the body of the tapestry alone. There's about another 3,000-4,000 in the fringe along the bottom.


The picture is a painting by Henri Rousseau, called Sleeping Gypsy. I really like the way this came out.


It is available for purchase at my etsy shop.
