"Laighla"

This piece was requested by one of my former coworkers.  It was to be teal and yellow with maybe a bunch of poinsettias.  This is what the creative process produced.  I added some faux pearls and pearl-colored seed beads to tie the color scheme together.  Hidden bells under the flowers give it a festive jingle.  All hand-beaded.

Beach Bum ~ $55

This one is for those who would rather spend Christmas in the sand than the snow.  It is approximately 14" long, made of a soft sandy-colored upholstery fabric with scalloped lace.  The three largest pieces were hand beaded, accented with genuine shells, freshwater pearls, and small pieces of jasper.  The lining is a rustic linen-like fabric.

Blue Countess ~ $20 (SOLD)

This was a relatively simple design, made of blue lace over blue crushed velvet with a sort of choker design at the top.  It is approximately 14" long with a blue satin lining.
