I especially like the scrolling of the white beads. It could be ice or snow, or it could be white caps on the surf! I like your idea for a quilt of the beaded blocks too.

I love close-up on the intersection, the white beads around the edge of the one arm (they look icy and lacy), and I love the green and pink bits on the bird arm! Really pretty.

I alway find your work beautiful and inspiring but some pieces, like this one, move me a way that I neither expect nor understand.<br /><br />As a very novice beader, I can only dream that one day I can express myself as beautifully as this.<br /><br />Thank you for introducing me to Karin's quilts. As you say her art is compelling.
