Round Robin doll going home!!

The Jungle Dolls Round Robin @ Beaddreamz yahoogroup is coming to a close this Dec 15, and I worked hard getting Jo Adam's doll finished and ready to go home early! There are many gifts I have still in my head that need to come out and get into my hands, so they can wend their way to friends and family, so Orchis, the beads, Diane Fitzgerald's The Beaded Garden and I sat down for a two day marathon, in between cooking for eight! LOL!

I hope you like the results!

Beaders included; Dian, Gail, Jo, Sherry, Ruth and myself.

I can't wait for mine to come home- she is going onto the tree..

Come join the next Round Robin at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beaddreamz/ and have some beady fun!

And, as always, click on either photo to make it full-size.

Just email the photos of your piece(s), along with a paragraph about it or them- how easy is that?!!

I just had to enter my Ice Queen's Delight!

Not about beading, but a bit about BLING

Ah, what can you say? Thousands and thousands
of Swarovski crystal rhinestones?? No 'accidents'
allowed!! If you've had 'too much', please do it
over the railing, outside!!


For the more 'gentile' among us.



Awwww, you could get in some great toilet-training
with this one, or make them hate fish, whatever!



Not only fun, but supposedly the 'correct' positioning?
yeeee-hawwww!


If you like snakes, this is for you!

Calling all Rolling Stone fans!!

Acoustically sound??

After we were pissed on, and pissed off

who wouldn't want to return the favor??

Who says bathrooms have to be 'boring', especially the more functional bits? I know I would be hands-up for one of these urinals or toilets, but the Swar-covered one???LOL! That would be a cleaning nightmare!

Another 'donut', or perhaps a fritter??

Donuts have holes in the middle, fritters are bumpier, but both are delicious!

This just cried out for a rivoli in the back, and the 3mm Czech FP held it perfectly with a bit of netting.

Now, what kind of strap should I make????

More corrections- what's in a name?

See, it isn't only beading we learn from other beaders....

Laure is from Belgium, and is female! The spelling with Laurence is female and Lawrence is male.

Ta-dahhh!

In the USA, it is Laurie for both male and female, Lauren for female and generally Laurence or Lawrence for male. Though all rules are off since the 1960's!!

There! Your fun for today.

Bead for me...I am off to the Emerald City to visit my oldest and her baby Taylin, our first grandchild...wonder if he will be a beader when he grows up?

SO much better now

After culling the size 8 beads as I went, beginning with the thinnest, then adding the wider on the outside rows, I get a nice, stable, flat donut beginning!

Hooray!!
