Wow, what a unique piece. And to think I almost missed it! I love the way you solved the problem of a background for the doll pendant. Very smart.

We’ve had a very mild winter this year but I would still enjoy some time in the desert about now. ;- )

I love your new color palette. I think you depicted the feel of the desert very well and I love the texture of the piece.

The colors carry your desert theme perfectly, and the pendant is so unique! Lovely.

What a whopping big success, Kali!!! Your first (?) attempt at bead embroidery… OMG, you are a natural… Do MORE!!! The free swinging pendant with the background idea is fabulous… Don’t think I would have thought of that, but you’re so right about the vastness of the desert not being represented by the doll alone. You seem very comfortable with this color scheme, new to you with beading but not with life experiences obviously. Thanks so much for showing the progression pictures… “The journey” always fascinates me! You (and “Big Head Jane”) should be very proud of yourself this month!

Hi, Lisa, I lived in the desert in Tucson, Arizona for 10 years, so I know all about 115 degree days (and months!). Truth is, though, I’d rather endure that than freezing cold. Thanks for the compliments and encouragement.

you captured the colors and feel of the desert very well. i live in the desert, and it’s not all peaches and cream, let me tell you. when it’s 115 degrees in july, all i can dream of is snow. lol maybe we can switch places for a few months! i really like your layering of pieces…it makes it even that much more interesting. very nice job at the embroidery by the way!
