Taking a break from "The Blue Bead"
I was perusing the blogs and saw one about skeletons. I thought, I love skeletons, there is something so edgy about them. Then, I just had to say something about my skeletons, it turns out I have beaded many, many skulls. So is the nature of blogging just some sort of self gratification? Or, are we out to learn about and meet others, share interests and explore. A bit of both I suspose. But, if I am honest with myself, I really would love for some people to just see my skeletons...

THE BLUE BEAD

Can an old trade bead find new life in print? Could the saga of an 18th century blue Bohemiam bead be a book that will hold interest for children and artist alike? This book "The Blue Bead" is a fictional account of a young beadworkers experience with the gift of an old trade bead and how it finds its way into her life in present day Alaska. It is based in part on historical fact. Where a bead has been and who its previous owner was often remains a mystery. The 25 illustrations were laboriously beaded, each taking over 200 hours to complete, some much more than that. "The Blue Bead" has taken 10 years to finish and is an exquisite labor of love by author/illustrator Kate Boyan.
