I'll bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween.

I lied, there are more bags. But maybe I'll give you a bead interval.
I gave a beaded charm bracelet workshop at Gracelands this weekend. And this is two views of the one I completed while teaching.
Those Yo-Yo puffs have now turned into beads. Any excuse to get my fabric collection out and let it intermingle with my beads. And some of my felt got involved too (menage a trois).
Today's Inspiration: Nudists. They are so brave. Has anyone else read the very funny story by David Sedaris where he goes on holiday in a nudist camp? This is a genuine admiration/inspiration, I'm not taking the piss.
Likes: My son, Quinte. He's nine today! And a firm nudist.
Dislikes: Last post's puppy is now sick. Sick puppy poo is even worse.
Morning Juju
I was inspired by the Joseph Campbell video mentioned in your previous post. Thank you so much.

I love that David Sedaris piece- I heard him perform/read it on This American Life a number of years back. We actually listened to it in the car with all the kids- screaming with laughter! I bet it is still available on line- I would recommend anything he does on that program. I think maybe my favorite is when he talks about being a newby in Paris and learning to speak French.

You know I'd never thought of mixing beads and fabric to make jewellery, how inspired of you! Love the charm bracelet.

DISLIKES: not visiting you more frequently
