Hello~
So my eagerly-awaited copy of
Creative Beading Vol. 6 came in today, courtesy of the giveaway by Cyndi at
Beading-Arts. I've been stalking the mail truck for days now, so imagine my delight when I came home from a doctor's appointment (with Taco Bell in tow), my husband presented me with a package that could be none other than my long-awaited treasure! I was surprised before I even opened the package, because it was clear by the weight and feel that the book was
hardcover. Very nice!
After perusing every page of the book, I decided that I must create a project from it after I'm done with my first creation for the
September Moodboard over at OTTBS (I think I'll finish it tomorrow; stay tuned for photos~) After much consideration, I decided to go with the
"Do The Twist" bracelet (as shown at left), because A. I have the proper beads for it, and enough of them, and B. I have experience with twisted herringbone, so it isn't entirely intimidating. I'll have to look through my beads to decide on the color, but today I
did pick up some gorgeous Toho hex beads in a sort of blue lined with copper with a sort of AB coating- yum! I bet I can find some firepolished rounds to go with them (I bet it'd work with rondelles, even- and I have way too many of those...)
So that's the news for the day; good stuff, I'd say! I'll leave you with Trinity, hugging my wrist tightly as she sleeps.
'Til Next Time!
Oh I am so glad to meet you! I can't wait to see what colors you choose and the finished project! Your kitty's are so cute! I have a fat black girl myself!
