After the determination to grow in April and the need for control in May, in June the beads were free. They were happy and they sang. This is their song:
This piece was completely unplanned. It was spontaneous visual music. I picked the colors and just started.
Technical Details:
The foundation is Lacy's Stiff Stuff painted with Dye-na-Flow.
The beads are 15/0s, 11/0s, 8/0s, a couple of 6/0s, some triangles, a few cubes, some crystals, and absolutely no bugles.
The page is done almost entirely in the backstitch.
I used blue Nymo B thread. Nymo is my all time favorite. I use B or D, depending on the best color match.
What I Was Thinking:
I wasn't. I just let the beads sing, and I joined in their music.
Issues that Came Up:
I wanted to learn to use a curved needle so I could use it to bead dolls. I decided to try the curved needle on some flat beading on part of this page. That was a good idea. Now I am finding it very easy to use the curved needle on my doll.
After April and May, this page was amazingly relaxing to do.
It energized me. I heard the music, and I felt like dancing.
