Next to painting, beading is my guilty obsession. I've got more beads than I know what to do with. There is something incredibly relaxing and meditative about beading. I alternate between loom and off loom projects. I just finished this amulet bag. The chain incorporates a gorgeous blue mesh chain with regular chain links. I jumped for joy when I stumbled upon the glass fish beads. The Mother of Pearl coins and the shades of blue and green bring me right to the beach in my mind. I've made quite a few of these amulet bags; each one different in color and feel. But the one thing that remains the same in all of them is the ability to tuck something special in the bag and wear it close to my heart.
