My wishes have taken hours this week!

It's G's 50th birthday this week and we are having a big bash the next weekend at the restaurant at the Norman Lindsey Gallery.

I dont know what to wear!

It's a beautiful garden setting and I thought of something floral and fifties -

but it's an evening function, so how about a little black dress?

It could be a bit cool though, so I might need something over the top -

Maybe I need something brighter -

I love red!

perhaps this one for later!

My problem isnt solved but I've had fun looking!

If you have any suggestions - let me know!

More triangles

no matter how hard you try - triangles never go away!

Once you try them, you are addicted!

So a couple of experiments with colours and design, this week.

I got out all my blue cylinder beads, and started with the darkest shade and moved up to the lightest.
I'm not sure yet what sort of bail I will attach.

I have a plan......

I love turquoise and coral together.
It reminds me so much of Arizona, when we lived in Tucson for a couple of years.
So I thought I would try some simple native american designs.


My idea is also to string some fringing with small coral chips at the end.
It will be a very big, bold pendant.

We shall see....
