AGAIN A BUSY BACKGROUND

So I'm out in 20 degree weather trying to take pictures of the finished "Sanibel Birds" bag. It is sunny but NOT warm. I will get the gray form core board out and take some plain background pictures but I can resist trying for something more interesting. I have asked you guys and the general consensus is plain is better. But, when will I ever get to use this mosaic I did years ago except on this bag! Look how the colors go together!!! It's too much I know, but I had to try...

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.
