Bead embroidery

This piece is third in a series of bead embroidery. This can be worn as a pin or pendant. The other two creations are done in blue and yellow.

Head in the Clouds

The bead embroidery piece was inspired by the druzy stone on the bottom of the creation. The two rivolis are bezeled with peyote stitch and lifted off the piece with an extra peyote circle. The height of the rivolis matches the large size of the druzy. The colors of spring make this a happy piece.

BiBi

BiBi means lady. This is a 3-D sculpture. The head is made of polymer clay. The body is a saguaro boot (the scab formed in the holes of saguaros). BiBi has peyote arms and beaded boobs. She also has a neck of beads. BiBi carries a clay baby on her back.

Teeny Book

A small book for your purse or pocket. Good for single thoughts, daydreams or a quick note to self. This is made from the cardboard cup holders you find at Starbuck's and other coffee shops. I dressed it up with acrylic paints and beads.

Single Page Codex Book

This book uses a laminate sample as the cover; yes the kind you see at the home improvement stores. All signatures are thick and hard to fold. This stitch is perfect for such.

February BJP

Introducing Purple Passion. The face is an amethyst stone. She has metal bead caps for her boobs and holds a wishing star. The strap is done in Ndebele stitch. This was a very nostalgic piece for me and reminded me of one of my favorite childhood books, Harold and the Purple Crayon.

Flowers a'feather

The main cabochon is a polymer clay mold of flowers. The cabochon is encircled by purple and turquoiose leaves which look like feathers to me.
The bracelet is done in Delicas in a peyote stitch. The bracelet closes with snaps.

Another beaded brooch

Another beaded brooch in a different color scheme. It features a copper finding, cast glass cabochon and metal bead. The remaining beads are size 11 and 8's. I've bezeled the cabochon with seed beads and sequins. Fast and fun; immediate gratification!

February book of the month

The February book features a lovely Asian inspired paper and colors. Deckled paper is used for the signatures. The signatures are bound with a Codex stitch.
