I got my box in the mail today with the last of the beds I ordered, so not only can I finish up my bracelet I had to order beads for, I can work on other projects as well. I got some real pretty beads in the box, and some that I’m not sure I’m crazy about but sure they will find a place they belong sooner or later. I love the super bargains where you get a mixed lot of a type of bead (in this case it was mother of bearl) and its just a random grab bag of product. Sometimes I wish you could put in $20 and get a box full of stuff randomly selected, say a minimum of 10 items. That would be a lot of fun.

I turned in my final project I posted here yesterday and the teacher loved it. He said it was a crack-up and liked the comic booky fonts choices I made with the narrative. Now we’ve only got the final test to do on Thursday and the class is over. I am confident that I am getting a B in the class. After the first few assignments I was doing pretty decent on the assignemtns, an my quiz scores have a B average. Of course I won’t know for sure for a few weeks but I’m not worried any more. Not like I was at the beginning of the semester.

Back to beads, I did a rope necklace out of the 6/o Czech sed beads I got with the mixed earth-tone colors. I divided it up into three sections with some turquoise beads, and now I’m working on stithing poppy jasper chips to it o one of the three sections. It definitely makes a different in the design, and I may add further embellishment to it after the chips are all stitched into place. I’ll be posting pictures of it when I get it inished.

I may take a break though and work on the fringe for the Day of the Dead amulet purse for a while instead though, now that I have my fringe beads and can get back to work on it.
