It's all about the frog

So after years of not wanting to make frogs, I am now slightly obsessed with frogs! Each one has it's own little personality and I wake up in the morning thinking about...frogs, yup. What color combinations, what patterns, it's endless. Today I am going to make some frogs sitting on giant flowers , I just thought of another fun one, a striped frog sitting on a striped bead. Need to make some cane for that one. My biggest challange today will be to warm up the studio aka garage, enough to work. First I need to get teenager off to school...

Where It's At

Did the title make you think of Beck? "Two turn tables and a microphone" gotcha! now you are humming it. So Spring has sprung. My beautiful tree out front is the epitome of all things spring- an amazing magical cherry tree with the sweetest little pinkish white flowers all clustered over every branch and when the wind picks up, little pale petals fluuter all around like fairies dancing. This tree has inspired me to make little flowers on ever bead up till this year. I will not succumb to its hypnotic force to create endless little flowers. I am inspired though to create beauty- that same feeling I get when I open my front door and see my cherry tree. Wonder, amazement, transfixed by its loveliness. That is my hope when I make a bead or set of beads that become a jewelry piece. To inspire beauty, to continue that feeling in others. (sigh)
Tomorrow I'll add pictures of my tree and some beads that have been inspired by its beauty.
Till then.
