Wired



I am sick and when I am not sleeping with Astrid and my Quantum Physics book, I need things to do. I, of course, do not have the energy to do something like clean ;-) I have been working on crocheting but that is not instantly gratifying. Beading is. Plus there is a beading project competition (as I mentioned in the previous post) and you can enter three times. Although I never really expect to win, there is no harm in trying. And it costs me nothing because I tend to use whatever stuff I have lying around. It's cheap, it's green, and I have no energy to shop so it works. I have crocheted with wire before from a pattern in a book. This one is different, though. I rather like how it turned out given that I was just goofing around. So this is number 2.

Crawling


My favorite website is having a contest and the prize is a pack of beads and beading stuff. I always figure it is worth a try. We are allowed to enter as many as three times. This is my first. I had beading wire leftover from the snowflake and a shitload of white beads. I really wanted to do some sort of vine jewelry and I thought it would be unique to do a ring. So here is submission one. Wish me luck!
