Raku Shield

The focal raku bead was made by talented and local AZ artist, Mak.  The bronze clay triangle was made by artist, Judie Mountain.  This is bead embroidered.  It hangs from 3 blue chains and I incorporated 2 raku beads on the necklace made by Diane Hawkey.

Bird on 62nd Place

This is a wood bird that has been embellished to the the hilt.  It stands atop bead stones and a beaded basket.

The blue glass donut is made by lampwork artist, Terry Henry.  It has been bead embroidered and has fringe to accent the donut.

Sparkling Blossom

This is a Round Robin doll.  6 beaders (including myself) worked on this doll which had a "Flower Child" theme.  I identified with the theme having grown up in the Flower Child era.  I beaded her bell bottoms.  Isn't she groovy??
