It all started simple enuff - a single strand of seed beads and aventurine beads. A group of seed beads separated by the aventurine. I didn't measure between or count beads - I call it my sorta symmetry :)
I can't leave well enuff alone - I always have to build and build. I have a problem with symmetry, (even sorta symmetry) it makes me yawn at times. I have to have things be busy - I'll chalk that up to my ADD - it has been a life long curse.
I added a second strand - keeping the idea similar, a group of seed beads and the quartz and crystal pattern.
But it didn't stop there. Oh no! I added a third strand. This strand is completely random. Aventurine chips and disks, copper, lapis, jade, quartz, seed beads and mookite. I wove (is that a word?) the third strand thru the design and sat back and smiled.
I love all of the color. I know we are going into fall but I can dream about spring already, can't I?
How do you build your designs? Can you stop? Do you have to keep adding? I would love to know!
It even looks better on - now I have to do something with my hair - the pink stripes are just not getting it :)
Wow, that turned out great and it looks like you had the perfect top to wear with it! By the way, your hair looks perfectly summery cute!
ReplyDeleteI love it! That third strand was a charm!
ReplyDelete@Lisa - The first week of Oct will be a year since i shaved my head - promised the husband i would let it grow for a year. I have had my head shaved for 12 years - this is the first time i remember having hair.
ReplyDelete@Jana - it did kinda bring it all together, didn't it :)
