I began loving beads after I discovered African Trade Beads and I still have a collection of wonderful stands of them.
Here is a brooch used as a pendant that we go in the gallery today.
I began with a trade bead and encased it with Peyote Stitch. The tear drop beads were purchased at Bead It, a bead shop in Prescott. I often drop by there to see what I can find.
The bead fringe consists of fresh water pearls, glass beads, one agate round bead and of course....Lampwork Kahlua Beads.
