This is a wall quilt I designed and appliqued last summer. Finally got around to quilting it with beads and bead embroidery. It is much more sparkly than it appears. Size: approx 14x18 in.
Living in the midst of the Colorado high country, this beadwork was inspired by the vistas from my window. I love living in the mountains and they are a constant source of inspiration. The beading was done on white fabric with a sandwich of felt batting. it is approximately 6 inches square. This is my first attempt at completely covering the space in beads.
January's here and here's my first Bead Journal Entry. Blue and White on batik blue fabric. approximately 3x4.5. The picture doesn't show the sparkles. :( Guess I need to work on my photography, too.
I am a retired music educator living in the mountains of Colorado. With all the surrounding beauty I cannot help but be inspired by nature. I enjoy many types of creative expressions and always looking to try something new.
I have had a passion for art and music for as long as I can remember and feel very fortunate to make a living at things I love.
