Is that a pink dogwood flower mandala in the center? Appears so to me.
I'm posting this pic for inspiration, both for myself and others. I'm increasingly interested in book arts and beading, I've never thought of combining those two activities before though.
The picture is from part of an article about the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C. Found in a copy of National Geographic Magazine, February 1987. Check out all the thrift stores near you for your own copy.

A dodecahedron made with 4mm pale pink opalescent Swarovski bicones, embellished with dark raspberry pink 11 and 15 seed beads.
Look for this in my Etsy store: www.etsy.com/shop/CuriousPigeon
(I learned the underlying dodecahedron pattern from Laura Shea's Plato Bead, featured in The Art of Beadwork, I believe)

This is a forest green suede case that contained a necklace my mother once gave me. I am revamping it to use to send a special gift of tasbih to a friend.
Inside the case is a simple cotton insert I made by hand. It's a pretty multi-color tie-dye-like print on one side, and forest green on the other. This is just to act as a cushion and be attractive to hold the tasbih.
Entry into the Australian Beading forum wirework challenge "Head wear". I created freeform "crazy lace" head band with beads woven in and an Eni Oken inspired focal in place of a flower :)

I made this belt to update a dress I plan on wearing to a wedding in March. The belt is entirely handmade, even the embroidery and the beading.
A woman came into the bead store with a box and asked if she could give it to the store.
Everyone said no until I spoke up and said I would like to have it.
I brought it home. There are some pearls, some garnets, some vintage bugles, among other things.
The treasure in the small box was a spool of Corticelli silk on a wooden spool, priced 25cents.
Sweet little box. I wonder whose it was.
I don't need beads. I have some. Maybe a lot.
I am always interested in someone's unfinished stuff. I think that is why I have purchased abandoned quilt blocks over the years and put them together.
It might be fun to make a project using only what is available in this box.
a variation of the supernove necklace in the February 2012 Bead and button - I used smaller rivolis and a smaller square pendant - then scaled back everything to look right!!
