Pictures to Follow

I have some new fabric that I picked up recently. I have pictures of that and the new form that I am beading around (starfish goddess).

My first beaded doll

This is Lola. She is my first beaded doll. She is a teacher so she has an eye on the back of her head. I finally have pictures to share.

Chihuly

This is from the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha. I took this picture when the art club was there for Celebrating Creativity.

Still no pictures

I am back from my winter break. The last month has been a little crazy. My mom has been in and out of the hospital twice and I ended up in the ER again for a really bad stomach flu. I am in need of inspiration and time to bead. Hopefully, I will get some pictures of some of my new stuff posted soon.

I have new stuff

I have new bracelets, but I don't have pictures yet. I stitched five bracelets this week. Two have already found new homes. : ) I have been sitting a lot this week--my doctor found a blood clot in my leg this week. I went to see the doctor after school on Wednesday; my leg has been really swollen and red and warm to the touch. He sent me for an ultrasound on my leg. The ultrasound showed that I have a clot in my leg. My guess is that it is somehow related to my fall on Thanksgiving day. Most of the scabs are gone, but I still have bruises. Bye for now.

Update

I haven't fallen off the planet, October was a very busy month. MLG had its all member show during the month we also had Art in the Bag and Octoberfest. I have new items but I haven't taken any pictures of the new stuff. Hope to post some new stuff soon.

Frog Pond Pendant

Finally something new. This is a piece of art that combines the talents of Frank Daharsh, Jodie Marshall, and me. Frank made the fused piece at the top of the pendant. Jodie made the frog cab for the bottom part of the pendant. I did the bead work that tied those two pieces together. Enjoy.

Little Purse

Here is a little beaded amulet bag that I have been working on. Hope you enjoy the picture!

Update on stuff

I have already started on my big project for next year's Nebraska State Fair. Unfortunately, pictures won't be available for a long time. This project is the most massive one I have ever taken on and I am committed to completing it. I can tell you that it involves more than one piece. Yes, I know I am being cryptic. : )

Class Today

I took a class today on Precious Metal Clay. I had a really good time. I made three pieces--a pair of earrings and two pendants with garnets set in the clay. I will take pictures when I get my stuff so that you can see them also.
