"Gold and Black Beaded Wrist Band" is done in gold-colored Delicas with a black stripe of them running through. Done in gourd stitch, which, I've just found out today, is totally different than Peyote - I'd always thought, as most beaders do, that they are one and the same. This narrow bracelet would look good on a man or a woman. I used a magnetic clasp on this one.
"Feather and Turquoise Earrings" have silver-colored Delica beads, with a few turquoise chips in between. Dangling from the bottom is a beautiful pewter feather. Earwires are surgical steel.
"Beachcomber" features a shell pendant carved into a flower, with wood and bone beads making up the strand it's hung from.
"Emerald Throne" in a royal combination of green and gold, has Czech glass beads in green, with some gold highlights, beadwoven beads in gold-colored Delica seed beads, and a couple of Czech glass leaves.
"Potted Plant" never made it onto etsy. A friend at church is buying it after I re-size it for her. Thanks, Trina! The darker, no-flash picture shows the truer green iris color of the Delicas I used for the ends. I love the iridescence of the iris beads.
"Shimmering Heart bead embroidered cuff bracelet" was purchased March 4, 2008. My first etsy sale! Thank you, Michelle!!
"Sleeping Gypsy Bead Tapestry Wall Hanging" was also purchased by Michelle in Australia. I hope you LOVE it, Michelle. It was truly a "labor of love", since I had over 100 hours of work in this piece.
The pattern was the first I've done on a bead pattern program I purchased a while back. Stay tuned for more, but smaller, pieces I am planning, using this program.
