         Beading


                       

                         Rhiannon

My first beading endeavor was in a workshop for the peyote stitch; the second included weaving threads with beads.  After that, the hunt was on for all manner of interesting and colorful beads.

It wasn’t a very long stretch to start including beading with my collage and assemblage wildlife pieces. Simple or elaborate, the beads have added an element of visual interest that interrelates well with the main focus of the entire piece.  

The pieces on this page are my favorites from a large inventory of many years’ work, from short and simple styles to long and elaborate.  Each is a one-of-a-kind piece.  Some have been sold, some I have kept in my own collection, and some are available for sale.
