My latest piece is still growing- only 8 more rivolis to go!

I'm really looking forward to finishing this as I have decided that once it's done, I'm going to treat myself and allow time to work on some completely new ideas. This will mean actually sitting and getting out all my sketch books, doodles, half-finished samples and a range of beads, and play around and see what I come up with.

For a while now I've been working on variations of previous projects. Out of everything I beaded last year (over 60 different things if you count everything I did and all the beaded beads) only about 5 were completely new things- all the rest were variations and I'm itching to do something new!

Having now beaded around over 250 rivolis in the past 16 moths I might even resist doing any more for a little while... once I've finished these last 8 of course.
