Landscapes and beyond

I have several more landscapes almost complete. The even newer ones seem to be escaping their bezels. Hmmm...no photos of that tangent yet.

This piece has no added acrylic paint. Its a stretch for me.

I'm re-working an earlier piece because I'm just not satisfied with it yet. So its sits here partially finished. I realized it would be very convenient for me to have about 4 huge tables on which to lay out partially finished work for weeks and weeks just so I could look at it, play with it, try it on then walk away for days. Come back, insert bead, take out bead, insert different bead and so on. I think I just need to live with things for a while before I can finish them.

Just a peak

A peak at carving work. I've done totally carved beads so now I am moving toward partially carved surfaces and forming organic shapes.


I am venturing into aluminum foil core beads because I need to work on weight of finished pieces. Why didn't I try this sooner?!


And one last peak... a peak at my house (and my Yellena prints) on the Artisan's Gallery Blog.
