This gallery is not limited to cabs that have been purchased from me. I welcome any beader who would like to have their cab work shown here. It is my pleasure to provide a cab gallery to display a variety of cabochon beadwork!!
Janice Carnavon created this dutch spiral called "Snow Wolf" for a cabochon swap. Her swap partner is going to be very pleased with this awesome creation!! Janice is a delight and a very gifted beader that we had the pleasure of her company in our Bead & Button Class this past July. Most excellent job, Grasshopper!!!
Annie Scarborough totally blew me out of the water when she wrote to me to let me know about a unicorn cab she had gotten from me and here's what she has to say:
"This necklace is a birthday present for my Egyptian-loving friend Lea's unicorn and horsey things-loving sister Dusti.
Betty Rose, a very talented beader made this unicorn kit from our class at the Bead & Button Show this past June. She did a great job of giving my kit life!!!
Here is a wonderfully done piece by Eileen Burkhardt from a kit by Rayney King. Eileen says "I did make some changes to the original kit - the black beads around the
cab face are black charlottes, they fit better than the hex black in the
kit.
Also I swapped out the stop beads - the kit ones were green and were
very visible in the finished piece, so I put in some transparent fringe
beads that were almost circular."
Here's a wonderfully done cab by Kelli Allison
who agreed to be a beta tester on my Bead & Button Class instructions. She did great job and to put icing on the cake, she named the piece "Azure" and dedicated it to me!! I am blushingly proud of what she has created from my instructions. Great job, Grasshopper!!
Presenting Jan Wasser CoMoWa's latest bead artist. She does awesome beadart and is a sweetie to boot! In her
own words:
"Retreat: My first with Red's cab and class at the Old Washington Hotel in Metaline Falls,Wa. Framing did with peyote around the cab in Japanese seed beads 11 and 14's. Attached the spiral around the top half of bezel. Embellished with lots of fun czech beads and Golden Aventurine stone pieces. The neck strap in the spiral rope I learned from Kristi Daniels and Karen Davis."
"Cool Blue: Is a 2nd in a series of Red's cabs. Cobalt is a wonderful color for this piece. Again it's framed with peyote around the cab, w/11 and 14's--gold colored charlottes on inside and outside of framing. On both sides of rope spiral strap, used size 8 seed bead of cobalt."
"Innocents: What can I say--They are cute enough on their own without a lot of embellishments. peyote framed with japanese 11 and 14's. Strap in the spiral rope."
I am delighted to present a cab necklace by Debra Pyeatt. Debra kindly agreed to be a beta tester for some of my cab instructions I am working on for the Bead & Button Class. She did a wonderful job using 11's and 14's and she carried the flower pattern up the spiral rope to tie everything together!! It is a wonderful necklace and I thank Debra very kindly for playing with my instructions.
Here's a wonderful cab piece by Joan Bowman aka Joan in Ark. She had brought the cab to life with her embellishment; especially those purple flowers which remind her of wisteria. Lovely piece!
Presenting Mary Menken aka shdwcat in her own words:
"I bought a piece of faceted Austrian crystal at a little shop here in town. I used Mill Hill number 0034 and netted around the crystal using the instructions for beading around a cab from your site only I took the netting all the way around the back so only the back point was left uncovered. I then did a peyote ruffle around the outside edge using royal blue transparent czech seed beads in size 11. Right behind that I did a netted ruffle in clear ab czech seed beads, size 11.
For the neck strap I did a strip of peyote in the royal blue and bordered that with a netted ruffle on each side in the clear ab. again in 11's. The ruffles gave the neck strap a loose twist so I just allowed it to find it's own shape.
Then I attached the pendant to the cab and added 7 strands of fringe in alternating colors at the bottom."
For the angel swap, Mary did this piece:
Another lovely piece; this is a cameo choker by Mary:
Here's another wonderful choker by Mary:
Lorraine Felitta
asked me to make a kit for her to go with the doberman cab and she did a wonderful job of bringing the kit to life. She also beaded the back and put daisy flowers on it the back in completely black and some daisies.
Lorraine has created a lovely violet cab brooch. One side is free form and the other is ruffled. Great job, Lorraine!
Suzanne Hess of Suzanne's Hands did this wonderful cab with corners!! The piece is called "Ice Dancing" and in her own words:
The Dutch spiral is worked in 6/0's, 8/0's, triangles, Delica 3.3's, and
Japanese11/0's, using the (in)famous "Squish and Tuck" technique
Here's another fabulous piece from Suzanne called Sea Dance:
Kelly Nye has been making brooches for
about 5 years now, she learned from Sadie Starr's book. She had intended to
make this into her first necklace, but it just 'looked' like a brooch!
Along with the amethyst, there are two freshwater pearls and Swarovski
crystals. Red adds, this is a gorgeous piece of work and I am happy to have Kelly as a guest in my cab gallery!!
Fay Lynn says "I was in Utah last week visiting family and took along beads to work on a
birthday present for my Mom, it is today 8/22. actually. Anyway, this is my second cab. I am getting hooked on these. Thanks to Reds encouragement and beautiful cabs. My Mom collects Owls so this was a must when I saw it." Great job, Fay Lynn, you do a wonderful job making my cabs look good!!
Fay Lynn aka LdyAvalon7 has done her first cab for the angel swap; and it is awesome!!:
