As crazy as it sounds, I have added new content to my poor neglected webpage. All of my beaded journal houses altogether, in one spot, with a bit of history. maybe i will add more about each house later. this photo was taken my Audin Malmin of Angry Viking LLC.
these are 5 beaded buttons i made this weekend. i actually had not confirmed i would be teaching a class then, i thought i would put these on etsy. but now they will be my class samples, i will have to do some more for etsy. what colors do YOU like best?
i will be teaching a class in making these bead embroidered houses in Bellevue Washington, at Quiltworks / Beads and Beyond
http://www.beadsandbeyond-wa.com/ on August 28th. It's a 6 hour class and will be listed on their website soon.

this little guy is about 2" in diameter. i make these by sewing beads onto cloth and then stretching around metal button forms. (you see those in fabric stores, they are meant to be covered with fabric to match clothing.) for this one i used seeds beads, glass leaves, stars, and flowers, a swarovski crystal bead, and wire coils.
