Just by luck I had the beads needed to get the effect I wanted with the wings. I also like the realism they have. Thanks again. :)Susan Shufelthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05973306489280665991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737822005386176128.post-10915094904602500922012-11-15T08:07:38.523-06:002012-11-15T08:07:38.523-06:00Thanks Robin for your wonderful words, they mean s...Thanks Robin for your wonderful words, they mean so much coming from such a talented person as yourself :) I'm not real sure what I will do with my rocks when this is all finished. But for right now I have them proudly displayed in my living room where I can always see and enjoy them everyday. They are always a conversation piece when people come over...lol.Susan Shufelthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05973306489280665991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737822005386176128.post-36566625321619013462012-11-15T08:00:04.628-06:002012-11-15T08:00:04.628-06:00I had some fun with the design of the wings.

I think it gives them a somewhat realistic look.

And about the organic foods, I don't mean to lecture but since I changed my diet about 2 years ago to almost all organic foods I feel soooo... much better!! I wish I could shout it from the roof tops and make people understand. All those chemicals are BAD for us and the environment.Susan Shufelthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05973306489280665991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737822005386176128.post-40982844493102728542012-11-14T16:35:04.736-06:002012-11-14T16:35:04.736-06:00Susan, this is beautiful.

I am always so smitten with your work. I hope you realize what an artist you are. And I hope this and your other beaded rocks will be shown somewhere. There must be a bee preservation and/or research group somewhere that could use a picture of your rock for a publication or conference logo.... just a thought...Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700778413231259614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737822005386176128.post-83890205154072339392012-11-14T08:24:21.412-06:002012-11-14T08:24:21.412-06:00Gorgeous and so much detail on the wings!Gorgeous and so much detail on the wings!Mackin-Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10332653417514978658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737822005386176128.post-13767798726744715032012-11-14T00:03:47.739-06:002012-11-14T00:03:47.739-06:00such a lot of time and work must have gone into th...such a lot of time and work must have gone into this beautiful creation.margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225676137708827434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737822005386176128.post-44892074234560095152012-11-13T11:01:47.923-06:002012-11-13T11:01:47.923-06:00Susan, each month gets better and better! ...and ...Susan, each month gets better and better! ...and I loved the first one.
