affrecaWell, instead of working on schoolwork, I've been lazing about and watching anime. I can only surf for so long, so it lead to beading. I didn't have any ideas of what to start on, but I had two necklaces to restring. I lost enough seed beads that I had to add more citrine and peridot to my nice lab necklace. I'm not sure it looks right yet, so it might get restrung again.
So then I got creative with some tourmalinated quartz. I have some rectangle pieces from the Prairie Pond random bin and larger ovals from my ebay purchase. Combine that with green seed beads and quartz pebbles from ebay. But I still needed a centerpiece. I ended up wrapping a quartz piece and round tourmalinated quartz with silver for that. Might call it "Mow the Lawn". Or "Pine Needles."
Then I restrung another necklace to be longer. More creativity from digging around for parts for the previous necklaces. It consists of a seed bead mix from the Astronomy BotM, some hematite stars from the same month, black AB stars and spiral from a neat mix tube from Hobby Lobby, black AB faceted beads from the Prairie Pond mix. The center bead is blue glass, etched with spirals, from the Prairie Pond bin. I painted the spirals with silver enamel. I finished it as I finished 7 Samurai, so I think that will be the name (as there are 7 large stars in it). Though there is a center bead, it is another attempt at asymmetry.
