Remember my last post when I showed you this palette and said I was going to stop whining about winter and cold weather? Yeah, well, I've changed my mind. Headlines like this one: "Coldest Air in 20 Years to Aim at Nation's Heartland" and an overnight low of -15°F are just more than I can handle without whining.
While I've been inside huddled under a blanket, I have been working on another piece from what I'm calling my "Cardinal in the Snow" palette.
I'm experimenting a little with this design. I added a row of beads down the center and a picot edging down the sides. I wish think next time I'll use beads with a little more contrast or some sparkle down the edges, but I like the overall affect.
To recap: I like the picot edging; I do not like the winter. I'm off to light the fireplace.
Oh I agree with you about winter. I am here in Washington state and the storms didn't hit us but it is still flippin' cold out there.
ReplyDeleteBoo to cold.
DeleteI won't say anything about the weather except it IS warming up. Yesterday was -0 and this morning 26, so there you go, it should head your way. I really like this bracelet and am anxious to learn to make it. It is also fascinating, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI just love your pre-production photos! Love seeing all the possible beads that you are thinking of using . . .
ReplyDeleteI think I have almost as much fun doing those photos! I love digging through my stash and finding different combinations :D
