Here's another bead kit. The translucent blue beads came from an antique store in the Czech Republic, and have sparkly facets. The gold beads are coated glass and are semi-matte. The other beads are glass and some are vintage. Three kits are available.

This is called the AntiKit because I don't tell you what to do with the beads. Sew them on your crocheted and felted monster dolls, string 'em, throw them against the fresh glue on your glitter painting, surprise me! These are glass beads. Three kits are available.

Do you like green and orange? I do too! I call this the AntiKit because I don't tell you what to do with the beads. It's a free country, act like it! Enjoy! Glass, vintage and a rolled-paper bead from an estate sale. Two available.

I call it an antikit because I don't tell you what to do with the beads. Send me a picture of what you do with the beads if you like. String them, weave them, glue 'em, bury them in a time capsule---when they're yours, you can do anything you want with them! The dice beads are plastic, the rest are glass; many are vintage. PKP stands for puppykittyprincess, the name of this "colorway". Two available.

A bead collage tapestry. Lots of stories here that only the sagebrush can tell. Tabs on the back make it ready to hang. This will be part of a show called "Beads and Light: Dimensional Beadwork" at Beet Gallery the month of November.

People tapestries. These are larger faces that allow for more details. They can be strung or pinned through the tube at the top of the one and through two little loops on the back of the other one. People love it when you turn the veiled one over to see her whole face. Glass beads and thread. These will be in Beet Gallery in November. Custom orders taken. They are about 4" tall.

This is a T-Bone steak done in glass beads that has an "INRI" banner at the top. I won't bring up my catholic childhood here, but I'll include this quote from the Yi Jing: "The fifth line shows the neighbor in the east, who sacrifices an ox; but this is not up to the spring sacrifice of the western neighbor, whose sincerity receives the blessing." Needs no refrigeration. Has two beaded tabs on the back so you can hang it up. I didn't use a pattern; I drew a picture of the steak and went from there.

These are "unscripted" faces made of glass beads and thread. I make these custom, so if you want me to make you an Abraham Lincoln or a Marilyn Monroe, give me a ring. They measure about 1-1/2"high x 1" wide. I will have them for sale at Beet Gallery in November, as part of a solo show called "Beads and Light: Dimensional Beadwork" opening Thursday, November 1st and going through Tuesday, December 4th.

This is a mini retreat for the mind. The tiny camel will take you there. Relax under the shade of the palm tree and drink the cool water before you go any farther along the dunes. Smaller-than-small beads with thread, improvisational.

    Description

    These are made of beads and thread, and the outer "flame" edge has wire going through it. I make these to order. They make you feel like Wonder Woman. I'd tell you they can repel bullets, but I don't want you to test this theory out in real life! This pair has been sold; I made these for another artist. I can make a pair to order, to your size or that of a friend's, in colors of your choice. Price is per piece, not by the pair.
