  • A carpet sample

    These are Czech 10s, about a half-inch square. Think a 6×6″ square will look like a pile carpet? I’m using the darker thread to add a little depth of color. I haven’t had much beading time lately, trying to finish up on outside projects.  Hopefully, this will be the last week.

  • New Beadin’ Path challenge

    The last one was the beaded mask — this year is The Ugly Bug Ball.  Bead something based on the Burl Ives song of the same name, recorded for the 1964 Disney film “Summer Magic.” Bead a bug!  Here’s Fred, for inspiration.
