May 22, 2023

The bush outside my old studio is finally blooming.  The picture on the right is one of the latest flowers.  I'll share more this week.  They are absolutely beautiful.

So, it's sunny and warm today...in the mid 70's.  We did have rain on Saturday which was nice. 

I finished making my fabric necklace and bracelet and I think they look really nice.  The necklace and bracelet both began with strips of fabric braided together and then wound with decorative yarn and metallic thread.

The beads began as strips of fabric wound around a dowel, secures with glue and then wound with both decorative yarn and metallic threads.

I decided to use wood beads to cap off both ends of the beads rather than white beads which I first used and I like the results much better.  Check out the picture below...


I'm still struggling to take a picture that fully captures the color and shiny aspects of the necklace and bracelet.  I have to figure out the lighting.

There's a new weekly question posted and a new daily meditation about the question.  We are going to deal with exercise this week...about half of Americans do not really like to exercise.  I count myself as one of those.

As always, if you are viewing this blog on a smart phone or tablet, use the web version in order to see the sidebar when the questions and meditations are located.

Can you believe that we are this far into May?  Time is going way too fast...

Talk with you tomorrow...
