Here is my July JQ. As done as it's going to get until I can fine the exact pair of beads or crystals that I want to use for the eyes. I actually enjoy looking for that 'just right' something, & will probably take it along with me when I go to Seattle, to aide in my search. It'll be fun. The background fabric is some that my friend Kathy J. from Michigan made for me by stamping the ferns & dragonflies on, then I 'overdyed' it using my Dynaflow paints, & stamped the words "warm summer breezes", & "dappled sunlight",
This is my 1st attempt at'real' beadwork. I've never taken a class, & have always just added a bead here & a bead there, free forming it. It didn't turn out perfect, but I learned from the process, & will do better next time.
I will be posting our weekend adventures on my
Dark Side. &

the bead work is lovely Deb, well done! It's great to see you experimenting with out doing a class - an inspiration :)
Very nice! I love the colors and the frazzled edges. Your beadwork dragonfly looks great. Still waiting to see those $60 crystals though!
Cool, Deb. Good job
What fun! I like the stamped phrases (esp 'dappled sunlight') and your dragonfly turned out great.
What a nice "summery" piece. I think your beadwork on your dragonfly is great.
It's great Deb. I love dragon flies.
I love the contrast between that dragonfly, who means business, and the the soft summery background. Very cool, as usual.
its wonderful! the quilting threads really catch the light. Great job on the beading! I've never done any beading like that either.
Great job - your beading is beautiful!
What a lovely, lovely piece; your beaded dragonfly is beautiful. Congratulations on doing that beading.
I so enjoy your blog.
Deb - I love your dragonfly - did you find your eyes yet - if not let me know and I will look thru my QC stuff to see if there are any goodies that might work... Great Job - DD
Perfect summer jq. Dragonflies are kind of iconic for summer aren't they? I've always loved them.
