Anyone who knows me well knows that when I get obsessed with something crafty, I sleep, eat and dream it until I get it out of my system. I have gone through beaded bead obsessions before and am experiencing my latest one. The beads I am making now are an unplanned, free form peyote and I am trying four, three, two drop and standard versions as I stitch my way around the beads. I am using Japanese beads: Delicas, Miyuki 11/0 seed beads and some size 15/0, and some old round Japanese seed beads my friend Dorothy gave me a few years ago. I am finding inspiration in the work of Gustav Klimt.

A great source of wooden beads, ovals and rounds, size small to huge is Craftparts. Finally, check out Amy Karash fine bead work I have adored her work for years.
