Good Medicine!
I’ve recently started designing a new beading project, but it has been very slow-going for me while my left hand is on the mend and stiffness in my right hand is hindering my activity as well (glovelettes are a god-send for achy joints!). On the bright side, I received good news last week from Fire Mountain Gems and Beads…my “Geometric Staggered Warped Square Bracelet” won a Gold Medal Award in the 2018 Seed Bead Jewelry Contest. Accompanied by a merchandise gift certificate, it is just what I needed to put a smile on my face! Timing of its arrival could not have been better. After all, shopping for jewelry-making goodies is the perfect activity while I rest my hand! Incidentally, you can find the tutorial and beading kit for this design in my Etsy shop!

Love working with geometric shapes myself. Finishing up my third tetrahedron (cycle) and may start assembling a pile of warped squares into something wearable. Love making them.
