beading

My first and so far only attempt at bead crochet.

Beautiful lampwork glass beads from Auntie's Beads were used in this piece. Instructions

Embroidery and beading on painted fabric

OK, the main reason I came up with this idea, was not beading at home. That means that my beading surface should also be compact to travel with......so it folds in half.

Now, even at home I bead on my invention LOL. When I have to interrupt my work, I "close" it, and all stay in place neatly.

i was quite envious of jess' salwar kameez

This is how it is supposed to work. You have a formidable wax or coating on your car and the water cannot stand against it. Certainly over time, rainfall will cause erosion, and more wax/coating must be applied. For now though, we are somewhat impervious. This is the roof of my R32 Skyline GTR BTW.

My latest project. Not finished, still like beading the other side, then the draw ties also get beaded. Materials: glass size 12 beads, elk skin leather.

The young woman on the left is the daughter of a highly skilled native beader.

Her mother also made the fur garment being modeled in other photos and has one on display at the Smithsonian.

Czech beads, Japanese beads, glass beads, plastic beads, river rearls, artificial pearls, quartz, chrysolite.

Went to King Estates winery on Sunday. The weather was typical Oregon with rain showers and cool temperatures. As we were leaving I noticed the rain beading up on these wooden tables. Shot with a Tamron 28-75 f/2.8.

Rose took a plain jean jacket and made something very special! She added the material, did the beading and then added the fringe. Beautiful!

This is a bottle I made for my friend Eilis O'Neal to celebrate the release of her first YA novel, The False Princess. OH LOOK! There it is in the picture! Go buy it!

One of the things authors get asked all the time is "Where do you get your ideas?"

Well, here's an answer!

I filled it with all kinds of tiny sparkly things, most of which you cannot see through the glass, unfortunately. I wanted it to look like clouds. Mixed success at that, but I think it's beautiful!

I DID NOT DO THE BEADING! You want this lovely lady here:

Just loving the beading of the water

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.
