"A Fossil in Time" was created in 2002 after a show at Hillside Galleries. I purchased the fossil at the fossil and rock shop there and enjoyed finding a way to adorn it. This piece was donated to The Bead Bugle Cancer Fund raiser the following year and someone special is now wearing it.
The fossil itself is encased using Model Magic to create a soft surface to bead on and then one of my Arizona Sunflakes (lampwork bead created with German Glass Rods) was added to the design along with a lampwork Kahlua bead and some fresh water pearls. The neck piece is an encased tubing designed with peyote stitch.
