I’m working on a jewelry series that will demonstrate multiple variations of a beaded shape. I recently received an established artist grant from SEMAC to create this series, (more about that later). In this piece I created the woven star with size 8 seed beads. Now I’m weaving size 15 seed beads onto the surface. Color and multiple bead sizes influence the changes. Studio #16

Saw this boney specimen on my walk in the Carlton Arb.  I was inspired by the organic repetition.  The necklace I’m hand weaving also features repetition.   I’m using Delicas and size 15 seed beads to create the elements.  Maybe half way done.  Plan to show the piece, studio # 16, on the 2016 ArTour!  

Avocado Dying

Posted on March 24, 2016

Avocados are really a healthy food but they can also give a beautiful color in the dye bath. It was really exciting to see the awesome color of this scarf from yesterdays dye bath. It is fun to be dyeing before local plants become available for natural dying. From My studio Judy Saye-Willis
