overdrive b4 hols

Well, I'll be leaving for a short break to France early Sunday morning ... and although I'm looking forward to visiting that gorgeous country & having a whale of a time, I just know I'll be missing my beads & tools - big time.

So for my sanity's sake and to soothe that savage creative beast in me for the time being, I went into overdrive and created these:


Tiger Ebony Twist Bracelet II

I'll be coming up with a whole new creation (with a-one-of-a-kind bead) upon my return - I am SO EXCITED about it! Be sure to stay tuned!!!

Haha ... so much for all that talk about creating more pieces last night! I was out stone cold by around 11.30pm! That's considered really early for me!

Well, 'nuff said, I woke up early today to make up for lost time and I created this beauty:

Geometricity - it rocks baby!
