And, best of all, the new dreams I'm following just seem to enhance everything, even beading.

I know I feel the same way. I did a bit of beading on vacation, but now that I'm back life just keeps getting in the way. I like that you are exploring, thinking about what suits you ... no matter where that takes you. It's brave and nurturing to the soul. I don't string often, but when I do it is soothing. Just the beads and me. I like the rhythm of these and I LOVE those fiber beads (as you know). I also recognize those stones in the second piece. I have a few from you and I keep pulling them out to create something, but I'm not quite ready yet. But I love those. The colors are so earthy. Maybe we need a bead weekend to just be, and bead.AntiquityTravelershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09448273777508831649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685551411011127315.post-86191793932219680112016-03-08T16:45:15.008-05:002016-03-08T16:45:15.008-05:00Well, at least I'm not the only one that has t...Well, at least I'm not the only one that has to be dragged into the studio. Makes me feel better! As far as your news that we have to wait for, I want you to know that I'm the impatient type 😀! But, l love your necklaces. I guess the muse takes us where she wants to go. Take care my friend.Maryannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995953807184947287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685551411011127315.post-90953980515363884872016-03-08T13:21:34.625-05:002016-03-08T13:21:34.625-05:00First - I want to know more!!!!

My friend Julie Sontag, lampworker extraordinaire, is currently going through the same thing. Art is art... What to do with the supply of beads? Well, you may find your way back to them from time to time anyway. This book really has done something for you and I can't wait to hear more.<br /><br />I love what you did with the fiber beads! They add so much wonderful texture and color. I always feel guilty when I string, but sometimes the piece calls for it and other times it's just the rest you need... and a quicker piece to feel satisfaction in creating.<br /><br />Love you and wishing you a joyous journey!Honey from the Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955079572505560557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685551411011127315.post-74809067980244667552016-03-08T12:33:43.815-05:002016-03-08T12:33:43.815-05:00I like both your necklaces, Christine. Especially ...I like both your necklaces, Christine. Especially love the combination of materials and textures in the first one. I could have written that same headline. I was sick the entire month of January and all I dreamed about was getting back into the studio. But when February dawned and I was healthy again, I simply could not bead. Nothing. Nada. This had never happened to me before. Went to a bead show at the end of the month, thinking that walking the booths and seeing all the pretty things would get me inspired. Still nothing. Desperate, at the last booth I picked up a strand of beads in a color I never use in my designs. What did I do with them? I STRUNG them into a design, something I never, ever do. But that was all I needed. Took up the needle and thread again, and wove a tassel as a finishing touch.

Of course, I understand, you know that I've totally put down the leather work a few times when it just didn't feel good. It's a glorious thing that you are sticking with the book, even if you're doing it your own "way"... I love that about you and can't wait to see where this takes you.windrock studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11361331676987978496noreply@blogger.com
