Maggie Meister's Byzantine Collar...

I have been on a roll lately, finishing up beading projects from classes, some ten years ago. This one is an original design by another world famous bead artist Maggie Meister's, and this is her Byzantine Collar beaded by me...



and here is Maggie's original piece...

Yes, I have had this bead project for a while. I do finally finish them, I just get bored and want to work on something new. This is an original design by Laura McCabe and beaded by me...

En Pointe by Marcia DeCoster...

This is a bracelet and necklace by the world famous Marcia DeCoster entitled "En Point". I love the geometric design of the pieces...





I have helped her by testing her instructions, or creating different color ways. I was happy to bead this one, which came out a little different (I didn't want it to be different, but I had attached the pieces together wrong and then didn't want to undo it, thinking it will be ok).




I love the button and how it matches the beading.




Kathleen Kimball-Baker...

This is a piece I just finished. It was in Beadwork Magazine's Oct/Nov 2004 (just finished in 2014, HA!). The artist is Kathleen Kimball-Baker, and her piece is the Jewel of India Bracelet...
