Spiral and sunset


 

I'm spiraling this week. (But aren't we all?)


I beaded a spiral at the top of my latest piece. In one of my first beading classes, the instructor introduced us to the term "bead soup," which is a mixture of different beads that you dip into when you want variety. So that's my bead soup in the little bead tray. And you might wonder why the tray is shaped in a triangle? Because when you want to return the beads to their storage tube, you can easily put one corner of the tray into the tube and funnel the beads in with no mess!


We've also been having spectacular sunsets! This is the view across the street from my house and also standing in the street looking at the reflection in my sewing room window. I'll never get tired of watching these.




Have a colorful day

You make me want to get my beads out! I just use various ashtrays or small dishes when I bead, but as you can imagine, I've never loosened up enough to try bead soup in spite of having seen wonderful results from it. That triangle tray is pretty nifty!
