at how much more beading I can accomplish when I’m not stopping at every step to take photos and write directions! In just two days, I’ve gotten further beading the second “Tide Pool” cuff than I was able to accomplish in twice the time while documenting the first cuff. Added to that, I now have a feel for where every beautiful little seed bead should go. This isn’t the case when I’m designing as I go along…which is usually my modus operandi. I’ve never been one to do a lot of sketches. I get an idea and often am so exited with it that I gather my tools and dive right into the materials. Then the engineering begins – figuring out how things will go together and hoping I haven’t made a mistake that will waste the materials I’m using! The first piece is always the most difficult to execute. With the second piece, I might make slight adjustments or alterations to improve the design. As with anything, the more you do it, the more proficient you become. I’m the first to admit that I am a hedonist, and in my opinion, no matter what one does, above all, it should be fun!
