PUMPKIN

Pumpkin, my little monster, who was my constant friend and companion for over 15 years went over the rainbow bridge this morning. I will miss him.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

SUNSHINE GODDESS BROOCH

Another goddess to brighten your day!

Carved bone cabochon surrounded by yellow and white embroidered seed beads. The "Sunshine Goddess' is part of my 'Goddess Series' of carved bone pendants and brooches.

This bead embroidered brooch is backed in leather and will make a bold statement whether you are wearing jeans or dressing up to go out.

The brooch is approximately 1.5 inches in diameter.

Stopped by my favorite bead store in town yesterday, Jays of Tucson, and two of my peyote stitch patterns had sold! Yeah!

Bead Work Heaven curated by 'bluejane' on ArtFire

Isn't this a lovely Collection! I am honored that 'bluejane' included my 'hex bead and peyote stitch bracelet.

LISTING FRENZY

I have been on a listing frenzy!

Lots of things have happened since I last blogged, some of them very good (sold house, bought house, moved), and some not so good (car ran away down an embankment all by itself, I had a bad fall trying to catch it). But one thing that helps keep me calm in the middle of upheaval is to sit and bead.

So sit and bead I did!

Long way around to say that I had lots of new things to list, new colors, new designs, many, many new pieces. I have listed most of them on ArtFire, and there are more to come. Please visit and take a look.

AMETHYST GODDESS BROOCH

Another detour on the way to completing my Turquoise and MOP Flower Brooch! This new hand embroidered brooch is a carved bone face surrounded by gold/amethyst colored seed beads, and enhanced by a fringe with amethyst chips. I am very, very pleased with this one!
