Although it doesn't happen often at the moment I do occasionally get some beading done!

At the moment I'm working hard on my entries for Bead Dreams and the Bead Art Awards. Now I'm keeping what I'm actually making under wraps so it will be a surprise but needless to say it'll be geometric in some way. The difference is that I'm incorporating far more bling and using lots of crystal in different forms- if it all works that is.

I have spent many hours on it now and the final piece is still only about 3 hours done due to me not being happy with the size, shape and colours so lots of snipping away with scissors. We'll see if I get it done in time- wish me luck!

To tempt you here is a range of the beads I'm using- who knew there were so many grey delicas- and of course I can never get exactly the right ones I want!
