Being part of Arts Prescott Cooperative Gallery also means working your required hours. All members work around 3 shifts a month and sometimes 4.
During my shifts I meet so many interesting people who love beads. The holidays brought people from all over the country and this year it brought Pattie Budd.
Pattie was wearing one of her "Luxie Lizards". This brooch is created from a rubber lizard. Pattie covered the lizard in beads and painted its claws and the end of its tail. Of course, I had to have one and bought it right off of her jacket. We love Lizards and Horned Toads in Prescott.
Patti writes, "It was such a pleasure to meet you the other day in Prescott. I hope you are enjoying your lizard as much as I am enjoying your necklace. Here are some photos of my work and thank you so much for adding them to your blog". So now you see for yourself that there really isn't anything you can't bead on.
