Previous Projects of varying ages

Please excuse the image quality. At the time I did not have a digital camera so I used the computer's scanner and scanned them in.





The beaded drawstring bag with the dragon is made with glass seed beads size 11 and nymo thread. Stitch: peyote tube. Size: 7inches tall, 4 inch diameter bottom.










The beaded bag necklace is also made with size 11 glass seed beads. Stitches: brick for bag body and 8-bead daisy chain for strand. Also, the larger bead for the clasp was made from a beaded pony bead. Measurements: bag 2.5 inches by 3 inches.















The silver wire weaving, also called trichinopoly, is an ancient craft. This necklace was made as a thank you. The wire is double woven silver craft 20G wire. The green, white and blue is a spiral peyote woven bead made from size 11 glass seed beads. The wire necklace measures approximately 24 inches. The peyote tube bead measures about 1.5 inches long and slides freely on the wire.






The black necklace is a pattern from a beautiful bead book that I modified to be a bit less flashy. This was a Christmas gift for my mother-in-law. It is fireline(TM) fishing line and various shaped glass beads: size 11 seed, triangular, round, square, faceted, tubes, teardrop. This also uses a beaded pony bead as part of the closure. Measures 26 inches long.







The green, blue and pink necklace is a combination of an off-loom netted weave and a daisy chain. Materials: nymo thread, glass seed beads (sizes 11 and 8). Simple silver toggle clasp. It was fun to figure out the way the needle and thread should weave to produce such a pattern. Measures 18 inches.







The white netted bead necklace has since broken from use - see the small areas that are mising beads? Materials: irregular size 11 glass or stone seed beads similar - looking to a sort of coral(?, but I don't know). The string was cut by the sharp edge of the beads, hence the hole there.. I have restrung it since, luckily I had saved the few extra beads of this kind to fill the hole! Measures: 20 inches.








The belt-looking multi-colored strap is also an ancient craft called tablet weaving. This is my first attempt. Materials: cotton crochet thread, and used 25 cards and measures 1 inch wide, 10 feet long. The warped threads initially measured 14.5 feet, but the process shrank the overall length due to weaving.







The purple, clear and yellow leafy-looking necklace is off-loom seed bead weaving. Stitch: Apache leaf. Materials: glass seed beads size 11, teardrops. Measures: 20 inches.
