Dian and Lon have really impressed me with their PINE NEEDLE BASKETS and Decorated GOURDS. I hope you will understand why I have included their pieces here, even though they're not Beadwork. Just as inspiration, they are really beautiful. Every basket and gourd is hand crafted, and  the gourds are each one of a kind Art pieces. Some of the gourds favor Native American designs, and the decorations for the gourds and baskets are selected from glass, bone, semi-precious stones, beads, feathers, antlers and other natural sources. There are big beautiful photos at their website. NEEDLE and LOOM

No, I'm not being paid for this, I find this work moving, & wanted to share.
