We decided to devote a
whole page to showcase Caitlin Hyde's beads because the beads are so interesting
and so beautiful. Caitlin makes many types of beads but the beads she
taught us to make at Southern Flames were her pictorial beads. These beads
have a drawing of an animal or face on the front and a Mandela on the back.
Both the animals and and mandelas are "drawn" using dots, lines,
simple shapes and masking techniques.

The squirrel
beads shown below are addition examples of Caitlin's pictorial beads.
|
|
Note the striped
design at the ends of the beads - a Caitlin Hyde signature element as is
the color palette.
|
|
On the back side
of most of Caitlin's pictorial beads are Mandelas. But on the back
of the Squirrel bead she surprises with an acorn.
 |
|
More Mandelas
and an Eye bead

Examples of
Caitlin's dot beads.

More dot beads -
the one in the center was about 3 inches in length and intricately
decorated. 
 |
|
Very
simple face beads.
 |
|
More complicated
faces

The photos
below of Caitlin Hyde's beads were taken by Joan Hougton-Theall

A cat face, an
eye and a "Mirror bead" - don't know if that is what Caitlin calls it
but that is what it reminds me of.
