Time for beading!

Class was canceled tonight because one student had to take her granddaughter to an appointment and the other student has the crud that is going around. So, I got a night off, and I got to bead! Yay!

Time for beading is always good.

I think I'm done with the spring freeform piece. To be honest, I could add a lot more to it, but I'm kinda tired of looking at it. So, I decided I was done with that one, had some wonderfully garlicky pizza for dinner and then sat down to work on a few more things. When I say I had time to bead, I mean it. In addition to the freeform piece, I finished up the pink bracelet and got to a stopping place on the tumbling blocks cuff. I want to wrap up the design and then finish the ends in a different color, but I don't have a color in my stash that will work with blues and cream. So, I'll be off to the bead store tomorrow to pick up some black delicas.

The new challenge of Fire & Flowers has me a bit stymied. I know what I want to do with it, but not sure how to accomplish it. And I don't want to copy another work out there, despite my vision looking similar to a particular piece that's been done (and won awards). And, I have a good amount of red beads due to the January challenge of "Red" but I don't have much in the way of oranges or yellows. I guess that's another thing to spend some money on. Like I need much of a push, honestly. :P
