June encrusted page

I am making two series of beaded pages--silk fusion pages and what I call encrusted pages. This is the first in my encrusted page series.

I plan to use a different main color each month and try new techniques to me.

This very green one includes a cabochon, my first time trying that, plus more of the bugle swirls.

Silk fusion pages

The page with flowers is the May silk fusion page. The ribbon and glittery threads are imbedded in the silk fusion.

The green page is for June. The leaves and earth had matured to a deeper green. This is my first attempt at doing swirls. The resulting page makes me think of a sea horse.

The fish scene is my August page. I received these two fish in an assortment of beads and wanted to give the feeling of being underwater. I spend summers on an island on Lake Sunapee, so my mind is definitely on the scene before my eyes, as well as the fish thatswim in the lake and under our dock.
