So I came across this post by following a post in the Bead Soup Cafe on Facebook, and thought it sounded like great fun!! It’s simple: If I win beads, I blog about it. As I create something with the beads, I blog about it. And when I have a finished product, I blog about it!? I can do that! I love that I am slowly but surely getting more and more involved in what sometimes seems to be a secret society, where one must learn a secret handshake, a code word, and have l33t jewelry making skillz just to be considered an applicant. I love connecting with more and more people who share this insane compulsion delightful love of taking raw materials and creating something beautiful and seductive to the senses, something that takes on a life of its own as it is created, and in turn becomes a living, breathing creature to behold and admired by all. Ok, maybe that’s taking things a little too far, but I do so get caught up in the creating that I do forget to stop and eat, take a sip of water, stretch and BREATHE. If it weren’t for the kitties, I would probably fall asleep sitting on my ball at my desk, roll slowly forward and wake up with beads stuck to my face. I get in a zone once I finally find out what the materials are supposed to become, filled with kinetic energy that threatens imminent implosion if my hands don’t work fast enough! Anyhoo, I digress. Free beads. Yes, that’s where I was. So, head on over to Fusion Muse and check it out! =^..^=
