Here's the photo. Jeez Louise. Beaded Jade cabochon

Well,

Here's the picture. It really doesn't do the beadwork justice. It's very dark in Northern Cali today. That cabochon in the middle is a piece of jade mined locally. In the center of each little circle around it is an abalone disk, shimmering pink and green. Each disk is surrounded with purple, blue and green circles of seed beeds. The whole thing is brought together with alternating stripes of moss and sea grean. Then the trim is purple. It's sewn onto a Coach brand leather purse.

The jade itself is very pretty. It took me like a year to figure out what to do with it. I would start things and take them apart, unsatisfied. I am happy with this, though.

Happier than I am with this picture, for sure.:&

 

That's better.

 

Why won't these photos stay little? I wish they'd taught me this in my computer class instead of how to sort my socks with Excel.:&

 

Wow. Very nice handiwork.

 

OoOh very nice!

 

does your camera have a macro focus function? usually looks like a flower... then your pics wont be so blurry

 

Thanks for the compliments. I will look for the little flower. I just used these crappy flowers to open an etsy store, but I'd love to use better ones.

 

Beautiful work.
