Happy New Year

This year is off to a great start. I have set a couple of goals for my self this year. The first one is to learn to take better photos of my jewelry. The second is to do more bead embroidery designs with histology as the inspirations. So, on the road to better photography, I have 30 day challenge ahead. Each day I will be trying something new with my photography. I will be starting and ending with a self-portrait. Here are my first pictures. In the top picture I am wearing my necklace made with black onyx rounds and Swarovski 4mm jet bicones in a flat Russian spiral.  In the bottom picture I am wearing a necklace made with purple 4x4 cubes and pink Swarovski 4mm bicones in a double spiral pattern.

I have plans for more bead embroidery for the coming year. I will keep you posted.
