Bumps in the Road


I took a class yesterday at the local bead shop Charleston Bead Company. It was a fun class, I always find I learn something new at any class I take. This bracelet is stitched with the peyote stitch throughout, you just change the size of beads to create the Bumps in the Road. It works up pretty fast, if your not spending most of your time tearing your mistakes out. Seems like I spend more time tearing things out regardless if I'm working on a quilt or beading. Oh well, my husband saids it keeps me out of the bars!!!

Brazilian Embroidery "Maya"


This is my first attempt with brazilian embroidery. It was a really fun project. I have her adorned with crystals and pearls. If you click on the picture, there is some really nice detail of the stitches used. I hope you enjoy her.
