Picasso Passion

Admission time.  I'm a sucker for a picasso finish on a bead.

So when I found some delicious little picasso lentils that had swirls of turquoise, cream, caramel, brown, and grey, those babies practically leapt into my shopping basket.

What a lousy photograph! Trust me, the beads are far more fabulous than this.
Just think of this as the bead's drivers licence photo - those are always a little wonky.

And who am I to argue with the beads?  They are luminescent and light, and just brought a smile to my face.

When it came time to introduce them to their beady friends, I decided to play up the turquoise and let them all shine in a fairly simple right angle weave design.


The necklace curves nicely around the neck, and falls right inside the collar of a blouse.




Sometimes the beads just tell you what the design needs to be. This was one of those, and it made me very happy.  I hope you like it, too!

Packing Daggers!!

When you pack for a long weekend out of town, what do you pack? Bathing suit?  Shorts?  Hiking boots?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.


I'm packing daggers.  

Isn't the green in these picasso glass daggers just delicious?

And drops.  And seeds.  And Fireline and sharp needles. (Insert mildly crazed beader laughter here)



Not entirely sure what these might become, but I'm gonna play this weekend!

Seriously, what do you pack for a long weekend away from home?
