Bead Embellishments
In addition to traditional quilts, quilting services, and hand-woven
pieces,we also embellish our original works with beads, wire, felt, and
non-woven fibers; on dolls, bags, and quilts. As with many of our products,
we do not stock an inventory: most works are one-of-a-kind
creations. Commissions are most welcome. For a consultation and
quote, contact
us.
Title piece: "Brigid," a 9.5-inch (24cm) bead sculpture on a fabric
armature, which won first place in the 2005 challenge show sponsored by The
Beaded Pony of Stevensville, Montana, and a Reserve Grand Champion
award in the 2006 Ravalli County Fair. Original design by Judy.

This painted panel was found at a
thrift shop and was probably a pillow top from the 1980s. It gets
new life as a quilted and beaded wall hanging. |

American-style beaded leather medicine bag, started in a workshop at
West Fork Mountain Crafts. |
