I wrote previously about keeping all my old samples and whilst I was in Tucson I was itching to get home and have a rummage through them.

I just knew that somewhere, fingers crossed, I would find an experiment I had started back in 2009 but gave up when I coudn't instantly figure out a spacing issue. From memory I was on deadline for something else and put this aside meaning to return to it, but never did.

Then in Tucson, when I saw some of Gabriella van Diepen's work, I was instantly reminded of this, but it was so long ago that I had actually beaded it I wasn't sure if my memory was playing tricks on me. So I was delighted today to unearth it and have it be pretty much as I had remembered it.

The next step is to replicate it and see if I can figure out a solution to that tricky spacing issue and then see if it works as a complete project...
