Here I go - my first blog

I live in Wellington New Zealand. I have been designing with beads for over twenty years, and I still love it. I never seem to run out of ideas - one thing always leads to another. It' so addictive. My latest project is a 3D  dog made out of seed beads - all of my designs at the moment are animals. I like the challenge of trying to sculpt a complex shape with beads and thread. My dog is not quite right yet. The ears are funny, and the feet make the golden dog look like it is wearing shoes. I am sure that I can do better with the next dog I make. Those ears are going to be tricky though!
