Trying to get a jump on next summers gallery sales by starting a load of new cuffs... and maybe even finishing a few!
Trying to photograph black beads on black fabric with a shiny background is silly, so I put the birds on my beading mat to see if it doesn't look better. I like the retro look of the old wood door back ground but the mat is better, really.
Both kinds of cuffs seem to sell pretty well, abstract gemstones (with pearls of course) and pictures of birds and flowers. It's a very good thing because doing one or the other all the time would be mind bending. Not a lot of bright colors in the rocks and pearls designs or in the big black birds. Not a lot of glitz in the flowers. Balance and all that rot.
I have noticed a lot of blogs lately that are like anthologies or the Utne Reader. Collections of other people's works and examples of inspiration. Many are just a picture with a link back to where that came from...and that might be another photo of the same thing with a link to somewhere else. Like passing around flash cards or something, interesting.

Love the flower one! For some reason I have been very into pink lately. And ask usual your birds are awesome.
Me too, I have been loving pink, glad you like the birds too!
