Every Thursday afternoon, I meet a few girlfriends at the local coffee shop. We can bring anything we want to work on, or nothing at all, and just chat. I love my Thursday get-togethers. Because sometimes, I just don't feel like doing anything but play solitare. For hours. I'm stressed, I'm tired, I'm grumpy. Usual stuff. The muse took a vacation and left the building.
Sometimes, just starting (the hardest part) can get the creative juices moving again. Or if I really don't feel like wrapping, and just playing with beads, I can 'plan' my Thursdays, and bring only wire.
Such was the case today, and here's the result. I had a small Copper Fire Brick cabochon I purchased probably over a year ago. I had prepped a number of wraps:
...and honestly, this seemed the least interesting of the bunch. But girlfriends and coffee did their weekly magic, and the piece flowed! I'm very happy with it.
Ah, and here is another dragon, I altered the pattern, and used much better beads. I think more need to be 'hatched!'
This was it's 'aren't I cute?' and 'how can you resist?' pose!
