In this entry let me share some images of pieces from the display of Japanese beadwork presented by Coronet Co and JALD. This necklace is actually bead crocheted. Japanese beaders have taken some techniques learned from U.S., Turkish and German beaders and expanded on them dramatically. These pieces are evidence. This is by Hana Takamatsu.

The same basic shape is reflected in this piece by Misako Kishi.

And again in this composition of beads with metal components by Emi Tsuneoka.

This necklace is again a sample of Japanese bead crochet and is by Keiko...ah, I cut her last name off. I am so sorry.

Tomorrow I will post several photos of the other exhibits at Bead and Button Show.
