Beaded Curios

I've been putting an awful lot of time into finishing up the wax anatomical heart models and designing their packaging, but I have snuck in a little beading here and there. I finished up one segment (of 3) of 3-drop peyote stitch beadwork on my little gourd rattle! It is not perfect (nothing I do ever is!) but it is bright and happy and I very much enjoy looking at it, and that is what counts!



Ive also been finding cheap glass domes like crazy at the thrift store. I do enjoy painting the bases and putting curios inside!

Apologies...

Oh Dear, here I am apologizing again! I've just been awfully busy working on these wax anatomical heart models. I've also been putting some effort into posting more of my hospitalmuseum collections up for folks to look at, and Im hoping that the few of you who check in on FinderMaker from time to time only to be disappointed by the lack of updates might take a moment to jump over to the hospitalmuseum blog for a more up-to-date dose of what Ive been up to. The hospitalmuseum needs your support!

Oh! Im also delighted to have received these:



My new, custom made Donelson boots, originally produced by the M.C. Dizer Shoe Company of Weymouth, MA in the 1860's, and reproduced using the old methods and antique tools by Robert Serio of Missouri Boot and Shoe. They fit like a glove! Thankyou, Robert!
