Odd Bodz

A part of my year long bead challenge.  Incorporates a doll's head, size 11 beads, rondelles, Xmas lights, rubber tubing

Toadstoy

The toad head is made by lampwork artist, Wayne Robbins.  The body, arms, trunks and legs are done in Ndebele.  

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??

Mista Marbeauz

Mista Marbeauz makes me smile.  He is a bead embroidered clown.   The lampwork face is made by AZ artist, Laurie Greenberg.  I beaded the sweater with Ndebele stitch, the pants in square stitch and the sox in peyote stitch.  

Windsor Pendant

From The Crown Jewels Collection, Windsor Pendant by Leslee Frummin.  Why not make several in different colors?!

Icycle

I beautiful necklace depicting the form of an icycle.   The original pattern is by Laura McCabe.

Egyptian pendant

After my girlfriend had struggled to make this bead embroidered pendant, I raised my hand and came to her aid.  She had seen a similar bracelet and I drew a pattern to her liking.  This pendant shows off cobalt blue with 24k gold Delicas.  Aren't they scrumptous?  She just received the pendant for her birthday and was soooo happy!

Infusion

This fun floral bracelet is done on a RAW bracelet form.  All the flowers are done in Ndebele stitch.  Only one flower is different.  Can you find it?
