BEAR IN PINES PENDENT: I made the Zuni-style bear bead from polymer clay and sewed and glued it on. I stitched all the other beads and threaded the fringe. The back is Ultrasuede. This is a pendent made as bead embroidery, but I hope someday to create a necklace from bead-weaving for it. I also made earrings in matching beads in brickstitch.

SILVER BLUE EARRINGS: These earrings were a finalist entry in an online monthly contest called "And The Design Winner Is" in 2014. I made them for the contest because the theme was "Winter, Earrings." The stone is variously called Imperial Jasper, Ocean Jasper, etc. I did all the bead work myself by hand. The back is Ultrasuede.
