marshmellow gun TNThe Beaded Marshmallow Gun
We were visiting our friend, Alan Edwards, one evening and he told us to wait a minute while we went and got his latest toy that his sister had sent him.

beadinstocks TNBeadin’ Stocks
Inspired by the "Embellished Shoe" contest, I set out to make a pair of beaded shoes from scratch (I have designed and made several other shoes, sandals and moccasins-so I've had some experience).
