My Beadwork

I have recently discovered beads in all their glory. I have completed a number of pieces of jewellery but as I dont wear much found I was giving it all away. Then I discovered Delica beads and Peyote stitch so a new love was born. Now my Mam would call these dust catchers. What she meant was very nice pieces of work with no use whatsoever lol.

This piece is done from a pattern bought from a site in America. It took me weeks to finish and reminds me of an Aztec Rug. It measures 15.5cms x 10.5cms and I have no idea how many beads were used. May be one day when I have nothing better to do I will work it out. Can't see that day coming any time soon ha ha.

    This is gorgeous Carrie! I've always wanted to have a go at something like this but not yet got around to it. It's my dream to build a log home one day, and I'd like to decorate it with Native American bead work 'dust catchers,' lol.
