Welcome to my blog!
Welcome to my blog! I’m a seed beader, interested in the visual arts in general — I will be writing some about what I do, and some about what I see and learn. I have a website, if you’d like to see a few examples of my work that I’ve done since 2002. I completely redid my website about a week ago, and that seemed a perfect time to start a blog as well.
I made a coworker very happy today. She had admired a pair of my earrings, and she commissioned me to make a pair for her. I designed these, and my instructions were in the December 2007 Bead & Button. She chose the color of the Swarovski open square that she wanted, and then chose the Delica from the colors I brought in for her to see. This is how I brought them to work today:
I temporarily put gold findings on one, and silver on the other. I agreed with her that gold was better, and finished them at lunch. She wore them the rest of the day….
(In case you’re curious, that’s DB604 – perfect match to Sahara Swarovski. And, to those of you who have mastered photographing Swarovski, you continue to have my respect!)
Thanks for coming!

Wonderful work and website! I love the Bead Quilt Square you made. Keep up the great job! Also, thanks for linking to my blog! I really appreciate that. Please stop by anytime. Cheers from Boston:)
Hey, thanks! I saw the Bead Quilt in person, it’s an amazing thing to see (I helped bring it to Minneapolis.) — and to watch people’s reactions to it.
I enjoy reading your blog, I do so regularly. Can’t wait to see the background you choose….
Thanks for the link to my blog! I hope you’ll showcase some of your beadwork soon on yours.
That’s the goal! And, you’re welcome!
I’m so glad that you started your blog! Can’t wait to see your new work 🙂
I took apart what I did today — but I only had a few minutes, so it wasn’t hours of work undone. So, new work will have to wait a bit! 🙂 Thanks so much.
I love these earrings. I just purchased the pattern. Wish me luck!!
Thank you, Donna! Let me know if you need any help. I think it’s kind of neat to watch the decrease make a right angle….
