MY BEADING FROM THE PAST

Hi Everyone!
Hope your weekend is going well and if your are celebrating Father's Day then I hope it is a fun day.
I have been doing a lot today. Cleaning house, ha that is an every day thing right? I have painted and then decided to look at some old photos of some of my bead work. One of these days I will have to go through some DVDs to find all of my pieces. Well the pieces I actually took photos of. LOL
Here are a few that are pretty old.
Enjoy your day!
A shark tooth with peyote beadwork for Mike, he wears this often.


This is a style that I started beading in 1994. The puff beads at the ends of the dangles and the clasp are peyote with nothing in the middle. Just increaseing and decreasing the beadwork.


This is a piece I made with three pieces of glass made by Lori (Cook) Culligan The dicro glass is difficult to photograph but the shine in this is amasing. The owner of this necklace in Tamara from Mind Power Art Gallery. It looks so good on her. LOL


This is a old piece sold at an art show I did in 1999 or 98 can't remember. Made with a Jasper donut.


This is an awesome piece and was sold at Pow Wow in 1997. The glass is made by
 Lori (Cook) Culligan. The claws are Coyete.


This is flat peyote with nail head beads that I made in AZ in 1995. It was also sold at an art show.


That is it for now. Hope you like the jewelry

I absolutely love the coyote claw necklace and of course the shark tooth. Maybe that gives me an idea what to do with mine.
