Visit Kelli at her "There is no place like home" blog for a list of others that share on Friday's.
Several times that I have visited with Mrs JoJo and Connie H they've been sharing with the Show and Tell bunch. It was fun to see. I wanted to join and share this week too.
I enjoy doing beadwork so I will show a couple pieces that I've made.
My biggest accomplishment is Doug's guitar strap. I designed and beaded it myself.
The guitar strap was a very long and tedious job for me.
The peyote-stitched hybiscus is the flowery headpiece I designed and beaded for a young lady getting married. She was originally from Hawaii and wanted something made for her hair that reminded her of Hawaii. I made a hibicus flower. It took some figuring out and several attempts but I got it! I mounted the flowers on a comb. I made several strands to go around her head and down her back. The hairpiece was designed to sparkle in the light. She was very happy with it. Whew! Sometimes it's hard to please those brides!
I hope you enjoyed seeing my beadwork.
Thanks for visiting. You can see more of my beadwork on my other blog. Connie Marie's Beads.

Hi Connie,

Thanks for stopping by my show and tell.
You have an impressive and creative talent. And its looks like lots of time to do all that. I know because i do crosstitch and it take months to finish especially if it is a big one.
looks like toooooooo much work, ugh!!! nice.
Just think... I can tell your adoring public,
"I knew her way back when.."
Ha Ha!

I ran across your blog through your comment on Karla's Ramblin Roads. I'm the youngest of 10 kids. I was interested to see that you are one of 10 too!
Your artwork is beautiful. I'll enjoy dropping back by to see more.

Beautiful beadwork. I especially like the guitar strap. Thanks for visiting my blog and for the comments you left. I guess they don't have Brighton jewelry in Alaska. It is very popular here. They have a website if you would like to visit there to see what their jewelry looks like. http://brighton.com/
What amazingly beautiful work! The guitar strap is my favorite, but both are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!

Yes they are glass seed beads. It was a long project and I was glad when I was done working on it so that I could do small projects. :-)
