Celebration in Silver

Alice Jenks

Hand-beaded from seed and bugle beads. Created to wear for the wedding of my son, Ken Jenks, to Janet McCullough on July 20, 2013. The bugle and seed bead medallions are anchored to a strand of silver-tone beads. The earrings are smaller medallions on silver chains.

IQI I hand beaded and machine quilted it on a domestic sewing machine. Started in an NSNG workshop with Lisa Binkley. She provided fabric with designs by Sue Spargo for us to embellish with bead embroidery. I cut out the design and fused it to a shaded background. Then I beaded it profusely.

IQI Machine appliqued, embroidered and quilted on a domestic sewing machine. Hand and machine beaded. Started in an NSNG workshop several years ago. It was supposed to be double-sided, but I opted for one side only.

Pearls, pearls, pearls!

Beading wire and beading thread used. Freshwater pearls come in many sizes and shapes. This set was planned to wear to my daughter, Susan’s, wedding but it wasn’t done by August 16. Now it’s ready to be worn.
