Wow - my bead table has reached a new level of messiness. It has layers of mess now. And by mess I mean unfinished projects and half started ideas. Sigh. Let's just call them potential pieces of pure genius. There are a couple treasures on the top (that gray rectangle is my laptop case - it's become a fill in bead mat). I got my first purchase of Humblebeads in the mail today - a bunch of Heather's beautiful sea urchin beads. There is also a stunning necklace by my friend Marice at La Balla Joya. She's taking a break from selling her treasures to concentrate on other things. She still has her tutorials in her Etsy shop - if beadweaving is your gig check them out.
But on the right hand side of the "bead mat" is something that I actually finished! Inspired by the August Art Bead Scene Challenge....
I made this...
I made it at the very last minute! The wheels of the bicycle in the inspiration picture is what caught my eye, as well as the beautiful mustard yellow. I made the dog tag charm in Barbara Lewis' Painting with Fire class. The handmade lampwork donut I got in a holiday bead swap with Linda of Bella Bead Jewelry. The czech glass beads and yellow seed beads are from my stash. The seed beads are real live seeds - my girlfriend Stella brought them to me from South America.
I'm so glad you're okay! I didn't hear from you immediately after the hurricane and I was hoping Irene didn't sweep you away!
