| Bead embroidery and peyote stitch with glass beads, carnelian seeds and drops, and a Sculpey III cabochon. Inspired by Menotti's “Amahl and the Night Visitors” where Caspar sings about his box and its many treasures, including carnelian “against all evil and envy.” It seemed an appropriate stone for a talisman. 2000 | Bead embroidery and peyote stitch with glass beads, carnelian chips, dyed shell, and a Sculpey III cabochon. Created for a friend in her colors of choice. In the collection of Sherrill Kahn. 2000 |
