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<\/del> 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<\/a> and check it out! =^..^=<\/div>\n
