Clay, Glass and Seed Beads Collide

I was very excited when I was asked to participate in a collaboration project with Cindy Gimbrone and Elaine Ray. The beads arrived just a few days before I left on the Bead Cruise. I love working with Art beads. They are often the focal points for my beadwork. The colors, shapes and textures influence the techniques I use to complete a design. The art beads from Elaine and Cindy are totally different in the medium in which they were created. Here is preview of what I created.

Please join me tomorrow for the unveiling of the pieces I created for the collaboration project. Stop by the Art Bead Scene blog for more ideas on how to use those art beads!
