Beautiful Knotted Classwork...
What a great class today of three delightful ladies who create three very different and creative knotted designs! The first photo below, is a picture of Joanne's knotted bracelet. It is absolutely stunning with different shapes and textures of Miyuki and Czech glass beads!
The second photo below is the first strand of Linda's necklace. It is a striking blend of knotted jute and Czech glass beads. And, can you spot the silver washers that are incorporated in her design? It is just a great combination of black, beige, and silver!

Below is Barbara's necklace in progress. Look at the beautiful "Cristina Leonard" bronze button she is incorporating in the clasp. Can't wait to see this finished...such fantastic work! Barbara also took my morning class and created a beautiful peyote stitched cuff. It was a stunning combination of copper metal and Delica beads...I apologize for not taking a photo, Barbara!

Here are some newly created pieces for the Iowa Women's Conference. I like how the necklace below came together and how it looks-I really enjoyed making it-one of a kind! The second photo is a vintage metal zipper that I made into a 20 inch necklace with embellishments and wrapped wire loops. The zipper works-so you can really change the look of this when you wear it! The zipper necklace is surrounded by 3 new zipper pendants...

On Saturday, one of my two classes that I taught at Bead Haven was my "Sun Goddess" necklace... 
Pictured below you can see three beautiful Goddess that are works-in-progress, done by Becky, Jane and Kathy. They are three very talented beaders that was my pleasure to have in class! Aren't they doing a fantastic job? (I'm sorry I didn't get these posted on Saturday night gals-please accept my apology.)

New work...
I am playing with ideas again...assorted fabrics, different vintage zippers. Can't you see it on a jacket for spring? (hope so)
