Omg, I was telling Rachelle that if I had known how long this was going to take, I might have had second thoughts! (Not really, but it did take a while to complete!) Over 5,000 beads. I counted. But, I am happy. Note, if you are thinking of making one of these, I added a strip of stiff Mylar in the inside to give it body.

Well, I did these the other night. I saw a picture someone posted on line and fell in love. I printed out the picture and went to town. I am so sorry, I did not get the name of the person who designed them. I kinda messed up the first one, but the second is better. Jack, and his slightly misshapen brother, Fred. (Fred is on the left).

My whole schedule is way off, I'm thinking today is Monday but nope. So I've been creating Halloween patterns for the sides of boxes, but i wanted them to be able to work on a daily basis too. I started with this froggie, he's so cute!! I had to bead him up since i can't visualize written measurements, and in doing so I decided I am going to make a series of them. He'll have different things depending the message, and i even started adding friends for him. But the first is Fred (Not sure about the names yet) Today he chose violence. Lol. Patty is Fred's new best friend. I also made this superduo herringbone, but the blue iris on the superduos is beautiful! I couldn't get a picture to really show that iris off

Back on vacation in Canada again, grouse hunting and fishing this time. Soooo. Long drive and quiet evenings for beading. I really like these Tilas so this has been main project so far.

I saw a bracelet on line and wondered if I could figure out how to do it. I could! Yay me! I made this set to go with my favorite shirt that I wear all summer long (you all know you have one of those).
