Even though this site is created to display my SCA works and displays, one cannot forget where one came from and how I developed into an Advanced Bead Embroiderer. Almost 10 years to the month I became enchanted with Bead Embroidery and I haven't stopped since.

She worked with me at Diversified as well and I shall truly miss her. This is Bead Embroidery with a Custom Glass Cabachon I was able to acquire by a local artist. These were Marryns colors and I was able to present to her before she left.

This is a new design by Regina Payne called Nostalgia. It uses Domino Tiles that are modified with a lovely design and I knew that I just had to make this.
A great pattern for Bead Embroidery and decorating. I finally got to use those red flower beads I got last year.

I elected to use a bale for this piece instead of attaching to the pendant. The rope is Chenille in Black with red accents.
I have always enjoyed adding the lace effect, i.e. Black base beads in size 15
