Painted Ladies Cuff

I recently joined the Painted Ladies Group on Facebook.  I did not even know it existed until a couple days ago when I stumbled upon it.  I just love Brenda Hicks-Schalon's mix of ceramic cabachons of various "painted ladies."

Integrating bead embroidery and Poly clay work - The House Cuff

This still remains one of my very favorite pieces of work.  I was experimenting with using fiber in bead embroidery and decided to pop some of my poly clay pieces into it.  I think of it like a walk through the neighborhood on a sunny day.
