I guess I feel like I'm marking time right now. Between the life I have right now (which is good), for the life I want to be living (which will also be good, and different.) I am drawn to the same colour palette over & over again. It's not even a conscious thing. I am drawn to silver in a big way. So, to alleviate the non-boredom thing I made some stuff. For myself.
A bracelet of silver and turquoise. In the spring & summer I turn into a bracelet hound. If I had headpins with the ball on the end instead of flat that would have been awesome. However, I used what I have to hand. Much easier.
Then, there are those days that I feel that copper is the way to go. This is one long necklace. It just felt like it needed to be long. (The beads kind of spoke to me as I worked with them.) The carved wooden beads are my favourite.
I'm not sure what my current fascination with turquoise is all about. I don't mind. It's just BAM! ... turquoise.
Now, for a nap.
