Just a quick post today. Here is the latest item available in my Etsy shop - a bead embroidered Airedale Terrier named Tawny. Tawny is named after the dog I had when I was a kid. :) You can see her as a work in progress below:
Using the backstitch technique, Tawny was made with tiny size 15 Japanese seed beads, and a glass taxidermy eye for her nose. There are tiny fringes on her legs and face. She is also very small - only 1.5" wide! Precise stitching was required to create this piece. :o
Beaded Airedale Terrier brooch/pendant. 1.5"wide x 1.5 tall" (4cm x 4cm).Available at The Lone Beader's Gallery Shop! Click for more pics!
This piece is both a pin and a pendant, and is available for sale at The Lone Beader's Gallery Shop. I hope you'll stop by and take a peek! Thank you for your interest in my beadwork! :D

Another delightful brooch. I must talk to you about a commission
Wow, I've never seen anything like this before!
When I was a kid I didn't know that Airedale was an actual breed of dog. I just thought it was another name for "dog."
And I went to high school with a girl named Tawny.
Just thought I'd share. ;-)
Cute. What is your next big art project?
Glad you are getting orders. Keep up with the art though.
Thanks for the comments! Jams, a possible commission sounds exciting!
Jay, you are funny! :)
And, don't worry, Mo, I have lots of art planned for 2009! Had to take a couple of weeks off to get my shop going! :D
Tawny is soooo cute -- just like yor Tawny on the sofa with your sister in an earlier work.Hugz,

You're very talented:) Happy WW.
Bark. That is a very nice Airdale. Where is the Rotti?? Bark!!
now that is painstaking work -- I'd go crosseyed.
So... how do we get on your gift list? (:
that's so intricate looking. great effort there!
Amazing detail in such a tiny piece. How much do you charge for something like that? My mom breeds japanese chins and a pin would make a great gift.
Thanks for the comments!! Shannon, there is a link to my shop in the sidebar. Depends on how many hours/ materials it takes to make each piece! Thanks for your interest! :D
That is just amazing! You're very talented!
I'm really enjoying all your "critters", LB. You have a real knack for giving each of them it's own personality.

Your work is incredible!
Looks just like Tawny the Bear! Funny how I was just thinking about Tawny this morning when I looked at a picture that Nancy painted of me and Tawny...and you just made a beaded TB. Great work!
That looks like a TON of work. I couldn't do it. You're super talented!
Wow! Amazing bead work. It is a fantastic rendition of an Airedale. Good work :)
