Stringing the Beads!

Stringing the Beads!
Another Monday, spring is officially here, and the sun is shining here.
As March comes to a close I realize that I have been beading for almost a year. Since I have limited studio space and limited mobility it has been a challenge. I now have more beads than I think I will ever use. But that is ok. Sometimes that best pieces I have made have been like a puzzle. What can I do with no wire wrapping? How can I get a dangle with no jump rings? How can I use this wonderful big slab bead with just using Flexwire? I have managed to make a large centerpiece with just wire.
My favorite creative process I got from my daughter the art teacher. During one of her silversmithing classes in college the class was handed a paper bag with 10 things from the hardware store. The class then had a 3 hour class to make a piece of jewelry. Surprise!
Sometimes I will pull some beads in the same color family and then see what I can come up with. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. And sometimes accidents turn into a great piece.
Enough for today… have a piece to finish and a paper bag of stuff awaits.
Thanks for tuning in.
