November

This is an early piece. It came out looking like a bird so-its a bird, a very colorful bird. Really not much meaning for me.

I found a fabric with the word "rejuvinate". I put it in this piece but it got covered up. I just had fun with the colors. I used ruffles again.Again with the orange.

July

This was an early piece and again was just playing. I have this way of cleaning up my bead tray. I pick up whats on it from other projects and just go. This is what happened with it. It reminds me of a brain. I do not have any deep thoughts on this. It just helps me escape from the committee in my head.

April

I have just been playing with colors that make me feel good. Orange is pleasing me and I also was experimenting with ruffles and the green swirls. I like where the dragonfly landed accidentally.

February

This is something Ive been working on personally for some time now. The 2 Gingko leaves represent the 2 sides of me. The upper leaf being the young,playful part. The lower leaf being the tough,layered dense texture that you cant possibly get to. Very protective. Im feeling like I dont need that as much anymore. I could remove the spikes certainly. But one step at a time, right? I really like this piece,I think its my favorite.

January

I was just really feeling like doing a piece with orange and blue. I love that combination. I started with the orange curve and it grew from there. I was walking to my car one day and found this bottlecap in the street. thus the title A Little Blue.

Three additional pieces

October

I did this right after my son got married. I felt so relieved that I finally had time to bead something that wasnt for the wedding. I quickly found a scrap and just got beading. I think it reflects freedom. Unfortunatly it was short lived (time that is).
