Beadnik

Article Abstract:

Barbara Ann Volk's craft is described as a blending of cabochons and stone carvings into beaded designs. The stone centerpieces in her designs determine the colors of the surrounding beads such as a tourmaline set with grey, blue, green and brown beads. Volk has also ventured into ducks and pheasant pelts which has given beadwork an entirely new dimension.

Strawberry fields forever

Article Abstract:

The popularity of strawberry quartz is due to its web of very fine inclusions that sparkle when hit by light. The color of the gemstone ranges from very pale red to deep red. The identity of the stone's inclusions is being debated as to whether they are hematite, lepidocrocite or goethite.
