Here's a shot of one of the projects I'm currently working on. Sorry for the poor photo quality, I really need a good camera. It's an unfinished project I started last year on Bead Cruise. Anyone recognize it?

Bead It Forward
I finally finished my two butterflies for Bead It Forward. Each year the Beady Shenanigans yahoo group asks beaders to create a small square that will become part of a large beaded quilt auctioned off for the Bead Artists Against Breast Cancer project. Each one is one and one half inches square.

White Flowers Completed
I finished the White Flowers panel I was testing for my friend Dot. Finished size came to 4.25 inches wide by 4 inches tall. I managed to get a better picture this time. I photographed it with no lights on in the room to eliminate the glare from the shiny beads. Then I used my photo editing software to adjust for the lack of lighting in the room. It eliminated all that glare from the flashy beads used in this piece and also shows the colors a lot more acurately.
I'm still going to make this into a small evening bag and I've finally decided on what I'm going to design for the other side. I'm going to do a single white flower using the exact same colors Dot used in her White Flowers pattern. So one side of the bag will have Dot's field of white flowers and the other side will have my design of single flower of the same type. I haven't decided on how to do the fringe or strap yet. I figure that out when I get that far.

White Flowers
I'm testing a bead pattern for my friend Dot. It's a beautiful picture of white flowers on a soothing green background. She calls the pattern White Flowers. It's not done yet, but I thought I'd show you what it looks like so far. 
It's super shiny, which makes it hard to photograph, but I did my best. Not just shiny, it's really, really sparkly like a fancy evening gown, beads catching the light and bouncing it back in all different directions. I've got 32 rows left to do. I think I'm going to design a complementary pattern in the same size and bead colors then put the two together to make a small bag - just big enough to carry some credit cards, your drivers liscense and the ever important lip stick. The finished size will be 4 inches by 4 inches.
