I’ve spent much of today looking through bead
patterns, thinking about the next thing I want to make. In other words, I’ve
now chosen about 20 or so that I want to make and haven’t started any of them
yet… and that’s just for the ones that I’m pretty positive that I have all the supplies
for. I’ve decided that I don’t have nearly enough beads… Likely story you might
say, but it’s true, considering all the things I want to make and finding out
each time that I don’t have all the beads I need to make it. It would be so
much easier if there were any good LBS’s around. That’s Local Bead Store for
you lay people. There are great stores in Downtown LA and I hear there are a
couple good ones in Santa Clarita. But I wish there was at least ONE that I
could go to any day, on the spur of the moment to pick up specific beads for
any particular project.
As for shopping online for beads, the only problem
there is that there is so much that it’s hard to choose from and I don’t get to
see anything in person. Another big problem is that I want to get the best
prices so I spend too much time comparing sometimes. One thing that pisses me
off is every time a bead show rolls around, I don’t have enough money to bother
attending them. There is a bead show coming on the weekend of the 18th
through 20th this month and right now I do have a nice little bit of
money (and hoping to get a little bit more before then). I won’t be breaking
any banks but I should be able to get a few things to supplement my stash. I’m
very excited because I think it's been a couple of years since I’ve been to
one. Well, at least it seems like a couple years. I’m not all that sure as my
memory isn’t the best when it comes to dates. I just have to keep any
emergencies or stupid, non-bead-related purchases at bay in the meantime. Fingers
crossed.

I decided to play around with the colors and stuff and this is the result.
