While I’ve never seen myself as particularly sculpturally oriented, I must admit that I do enjoy shape manipulation (is that sculpture?)… all round beads would certainly be somewhat boring!

I freehanded these little guys - being a bit thankful that they took on a more sandpiper shape than the foreboding shape of a raven. They seem to nicely cap off a set that’s in limbo - while awaiting the artist’s inspiration. These beg further exploration - and it will come.

I lapsed into my comfort zone - and made copious amounts of a softly pillowed tab shape - for a necklace idea. I have several that I wear - and always am amazed that for the amount of beads involved… once they warm to body temperature - I forget that I’m wearing them. Mine is a mix of black, grey, and a few purple, and it seems to go nicely with what I wear most often.

So… I’m feeling more like myself lately - and have a pile of beads to put on my update - and if I don’t get started… I’ll never get it done!! smiles, Jill
