FINALLY DONE!

The Coco Bag is finished! This one was a struggle with the crazy but sweet looking dog, the beadwork on the strap, (it's hard beading directly on the deer hide) and the time deadline. Whew, it's in the mail with only a week to spare and I'm on to other things.

Oh my goodness what a master piece. I am of course totally partial to poodles and you really captured Coco so well. It looks so much like my little Terry (RIP) xx

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.
