Went to an art class at the Newark Musuem with a friend. As before, attendees picked their "learn to do" crafts from a bag. We both picked beading. Our teacher taught something called "Peyote" beading. The name fascinated me and when I had a chance to ask her if it was a Indian type beading, she said that it was. I confess that I did so poorly that I removed all of my beads from the string and returned them to their little jars. I figured she has to pay for those beads and there was no way I was going to keep what I was making, so I gave them back to her. :-)
I was reminded of my mom, a very talented woman who could make a dress without a pattern, once made a paper basket in a senor citizens art class. It was quite possibly the worst thing I had ever seen, we could not stop laughing. Well, Bloggie, my beading project was worse than that. LOL. My friend did much better than I. Peyote beading when done well is quite beautiful. I do plan to try again here at home, I already have a vision of what I would like to make. I am sure that I have seed beads around somewhere. I don't like working with these beads because even the largest is still small.Hence, the reason I still have them (smiling)
I fell asleep sooo early yesterday, I missed my Brit-coms. They start at 8p, how could I have fallen asleep that early??. The other side of that is I woke up at 3am and could not get back to sleep. So I watched Antiques Roadshow and an episode of Inspector Lynley. I had missed this one. I think Havers would make an excellent "Eve" for J.D. Robb's "Death" series. I would love to see it on the big screen.
