Newly beaded and just listed - one on Ebay and the other on Etsy! I really love the pastel colors!

Beadwork and Pottery: Ebay ID - beadbug001 On Etsy http://beadbug.etsy.com http://aquarianpotteryworks.etsy.com Welcome!!!!!! My name is Judy Russell and I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I have a dog, cat and several aging exotic birds. My true avocation has always been art of one kind or another since childhood. As an adult, I took up pottery for about 12 years, making pots, selling at art fairs and teaching from my own home studio. I also dabbled in copper enameling and later began to draw, mostly in colored pencils and pastels. My drawings usually were of flowers, birds, animals, and I specialized in pet portraits. About 10 years ago or so, I became interested in beading and started taking classes at a local bead store. I learned many basic seed beading techniques and then started to use them with my own ideas and styles, usually trying to recreate a vintage look, but sometimes going in a totally contemporary mode. You can do just about anything with beads. There is no limit to imagination and creativity. Even more recently, I returned to another love - pottery! Porcelain and stoneware thrown and a handbuilt variety of wonderful pieces!
