It’s been super-busy getting the store up and running, but in between I managed to do a little bit of beading. I decided I wanted a little pouch for my personal air cleaner so did a little pattern of my tzu Bella.  For some reason, to me, she looks more like Oz’s cowardly lion.  I added a kumihimo braid for a neckchain and we’re all set to go.

I love Peruvian ceramics and animal beads of all kinds.   And since I like to help out in dog rescue, these poodles just caught my eye immediately.  Just added a bit of sterling wire, some swarovski crystals for a  bit of sparkle and a pair of heart charms and whipped up a pair of fun earrings to wear with my dog-rescue-t-shirt and jeans.  I wish they had shih tzu beads.

Couldn’t really stop there, and I just had to laugh when I came across these silly smiling puppies, so perched them on some rhinestone rondelles for them to use as pillows/beds.  These guys look like they have been up to something definitely naughty, maybe been into the scotch?

Well it was almost time to cook dinner, but thought I’d do one more pair, and decided to switch to gold-tone.  These gold stone fishes just seem to float along under their amber czech firepolish bubbles.
