Dragon Number Two
Here he is, Dragon #2. He is blue.
Red Dragon
Pretty straight forward, this is a dragon, a Red Dragon ! I think I will bead a few more of these. I just have to draw them… Drawing is a challenge for me, beading seems to come naturally.

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….
What is she beading now?

I changed the dress also, instead of one shade of turquoise I am using a mix of three. It helps add texture. Still thinking aboutContinue reading “Beading, beading, beading.”
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”
