Today I am not feeling quite so bad about my camera drama of yesterday. I used my new camera this morning and I love it!!

When I started working on the Greek Petal Tutorial, I wanted a bead to put on the front of it that would show the versatility of the design, while staying somewhat true to it’s inspiration. My first attempt wasn’t so great. I had an idea of the form, but knew when I was creating it that it just didn’t communicate my idea well enough.

My first attempt. . .

This is my second attempt and I’m very pleased with it. I know that it’s not exactly my usual style, as of late but it sure was fun to make. I’ve always wanted to make one but somehow I got off of track and the idea ended up buried in some dusty corner of my mind.

Well, I guess I’d better get back to work. . .Hope you all have a wonderful day!
