My beaded piece was accepted

My beaded amulet was accepted for the auction and they have a picture of it on their advertising poster. It can be seen at http://truefriendsawc.com/events.html. Not sure how they have priced it.

New Year of 2012

Here we are again, a new year and I'm wondering where the last one went. Was a fairly busy year with a couple of short trips and lots of beading and making cards.

I have just finished an amulet to be submitted to an art show to benefit the local animal welfare center where we adopted Chessie. It's a juried show so I don't know yet if my piece has been accepted yet. The item submitted must have a canine or feline theme. This is the piece I'm submitting.

Dirty Martini

Here's the latest set of jewelry I've made. I don't know what kind of gemstone the olive green bead is but I imagine it's some kind of jasper. The red is bamboo coral and the little round gold-ish beads are freshwater pearls. I received a $60 bottle of vodka for Christmas so I've started drinking a martini occasionally and since this set reminds me of olives I named it "Dirty Martini".
