Sandstone necklace

I picked up this sandstone piece at a bead store when I was in Florida a couple years ago and finally got around to beading around it. The picture seems a bit blurry but hopefully it will show it ok when it gets posted. I tried to scan it to see if it would come out clearer and it doesn't. I made a spiral rope chain to hang it from. I have done many spiral ropes and always enjoy them. A lot of people ask me if it is heavy and no it is really not.

dichoric cab

It sure has been a long time since I posted anything. I don't have a lot of computer time plus I had a cyst removed that had grown around a tendon on the top of my right hand, and yes I am right handed. So I really wasn't spending a lot of time online then. I did still manage to get quite a few projects done to share with you. This cab I bought from a lady who sometimes comes to the beading group that I belong to in the Cranberry area. I made this in January.

ornament

I had not made one of these ornaments in a few years and it was fun to make another one. I put the beaded mandela I made a couple weekends ago in the middle of it.

Beading Bag

Hi, we woke up to 4 or more inches of snow this morning. At least it has warmed up some. It's in the low 20's today. Today I thought I'd share a photo of a bag that was a gift to me in a swap. I've inserted my pics in it now and it will be my new traveling bead bag. Thanks again Debbie for a great swap.

Cabachon

This is a cabachon that a friend made and gifted me with. I used a Jamie Eakin design around the cab. My first completed project of 2009.
