Doug and I just got back from the First Friday opening at the Bear Gallery. What a great show. Lots of talented people in the Fairbanks area. I tried to get Doug to stand beside his art for a picture. That did not happen. I am very glad I got him to put some of his penContinue reading “First Friday”

Blue Goddess is finished.
I completed this last week…forgot to take pictures and post. She sure is Blue! Trying to come up with my next project….
Momma and her twins.
These three were resting in my backyard this morning.
What is she beading now?
I wanted to work with Blue. Don’t know why, it is not what I consider one of my favorite colors. I like “Spirit Dolls” & “Fairies” so, I have combined the two. This should be interesting.
Young couple checking out the neighborhood
We had our first robin in the yard today. I have heard them for the past week, this is the first one that spent some time in the yard. It sprinkled rain this afternoon, so I got some beading done. While taking a break I noticed this couple walking down my driveway. It is always goodContinue reading “Young couple checking out the neighborhood”

The birds are back!
Made a stop at the Creamers Field this afternoon. It was busy, lots of people using the viewing areas and the walking trails. Beautiful day, sunny and warm.
Kachina update
This is going to be more detailed than first planned. I resisted using anything smaller than 11’s until I got to the blade. It just needed more detail, so I dug out these tiny bugles…not sure of their size. Pic has a few 11’s for comparison. Guess I will be getting out the 18’s andContinue reading “Kachina update”
“Kachina” my new bead project
I am beginning a new bead embroidered piece. He is a 10″ tall Kachina Doll. I will make posts as the work progresses. Feel free to ask questions, if you have any.
The MASK is finished!
I think I really like this one. I usually work in earth tones, but this project needed bright, happy beads. What do you think? Here is my backyard snowshoe hare. Thanks for looking, have a great week-end!
