My 1st post by myself almost...

I am going to put a picture here


                            

YEAH......!  I'm going to put on a 2nd photo.....

   
                                



Well, after 6 more attempts [and more analgesics...] I made it and put my 2nd photo on my blog.  This is  huge for me.  Thanks to our gal Eileen-again I am grateful to her.  At this moment-I feel NO ONE will be able to stop me....oh, who am I kidding?                                                   

Not a Good Blogger

Well I guess I'm not a very good blogger.  But since 106 anonymous people have read my blog, I now feel obligated to at least say something to my 'new fans.'

I am now in Boise and hoping to pick up some blogging tips and maybe even a few new bead patterns from my friend Eileen.  Love her blog www.beadstreetonline.blogspot.com.  

So, stay tuned for some photos of jewelry I have created over the years.  And just maybe a few twinges of humor. Maybe. Hopefully.  If all goes well.  I can only hope.

I have a Blog!

I'm being pulled, kicking and screaming, into the blogging world.  But thanks to one of my very best friends in Boise, Idaho - Eileen Barker (who owns the best bead store ever -  called Bead Street), I am now a convert.  Here you will get to see photos of all the wonderful beaded jewelry I make.  I also may even try to actually write something here.  For now,  this is all I could handle.  Ciao!

Designer Beaded Jewelry

Computers!  Not my first love (or second, third or even fourth).  Will try to post photos of my work as soon as I figure out how to do.  For now, the following are past projects I've created and I have to rely on my techy friends to provide photos,  Thanks!!



The 'Cellini' - my favorite stitch (oh, who are we kidding here)

Embellished peyote band - made and sold a lot of these -

can do special orders in any colors

My freeform peyote days. Used to love this. 

I wonder why I stopped.

Wonder why I ask myself questions when I don't get an answer



Close up of above. Another sold necklace - owner loves this.

She keeps it hung in a favorite spot in her bathroom

where she can see it every day.

Wonder if she wears it. Again, wonder why I talk to myself.



Another Cellini spiral bracelet.

Well, it started as a bracelet but was watching TV

while working on this and made it too long.

Now I guess I have to keep going and turn it into a necklace



A Lentil bracelet - sort of like a 'caterpillar' bracelet

but made with Czech Lentil glass beads.

Have made and sold these in a wide variety of colors.

Also can make these thinner or thicker depending on your taste.



Detail of my Lentil bracelet - one of my favorite colors

because I can wear it with everything
