Butterfly

I've been spending a lot of time on facebook and not enough

time on here, but I haven't totally been doing nothing.

There have been so many beautiful embroidered pieces being

shown by various beaders. Jean Hutter can whip one out a

day I swear...I'm almost embarrassed to say this but I have

been working getting this far for two weeks. Tore it out

three times, and spent lots of time just looking at it.

I'm so anal when it comes to beading, abstract is hard for me.

But I'm on the right track now (not going abstract but...)

and this might get done by the weekend. The cabochon is from

my good friend and ceramic artist Melanie from Earthenwood Studio.

The tinier ones are also from Melanie, I've been saving them

for a while. Lots of greens and bronze beads, little bronze flowers.

I'm thinking green for spring. Of course the picture doesn't

do it justice, no sun today, but its not freezing outside either.

And the days are getting longer....
