    This is just gorgeous! I can’t imagine the time it took, but so worth it!
    Happy Spring Cyndi!

  2. Cyndi Lavin Says:

    Thanks Betzie…happy spring to you too :-)

    Yes, Robin is simply amazing. I’m so hoping that I can talk her into maybe having an artist profile done here. *crosses fingers*

    Betzie typed in her URL wrong! Go to http://www.timenough.blogspot.com to visit her wonderful blog!

    Gorgeous beadwork, Cyndi! I especially like that last one. It reminds me of molas.

    Wow, that is so beautiful! That has to take days into weeks to do. Still, just gorgeous!

    lovely work! We have some great beaders in Alaska, too, but those hearts are some gorgeous piece of work!

    Robin is a wonder, isn’t she? :)

  8. Robin Says:

    To Cyndi ~ Thanks for posting about me! I’d love for you to do a profile - bring on the questions!

    To Betzie & Summer ~ Time goes by quickly when you’re having fun. Bead embroidery is so absorbing that I hardly notice how much time it takes.

    To Bobbie ~ The one you like best is a detail shot of “Rosie, the Uncaged Hen.” She’s also a “cover girl” as Lark Publishing chose her for the cover of their book, “500 Beaded Objects” - an unexpected thrill for me.

    To Barbara ~ Yes, I’ve known some of your fabulous Alaskan beaders. I loved teaching in Anchorage (3 times!) and Sitka.
