Barbara Elbe has several books on amulet purses and beaded images, I just love her designs.  I use smaller beads than her patterns call for, and also like to use several of her patterns for small lapel or hat pins and tie tacks. This  stick pin is one of several of her kitty cat designs which I've done in size 14/0 round glass Japanese beads and added 3D whiskers of heavy waxed thread for a fun effect.

Though this pair has sold, you can order a similar pair by contacting Sunshine for your custom order needs.
