a few beady experiments

I've been playing around this week, experimenting some. I wanted to try a
lentil tree. This is big, about 28mm:

Then I wanted to try it melted in, thinking I might like one for a bracelet,
and melted in, it could take a lot of abuse. I did the first one, and
thought it was a little dark. I did the 2nd one, and then remembered if it
was for a bracelet, the hole needed to be horizontal:

The I tried another bigger, melted tree:

I have some friends coming to town on their way to Wm. Holland School this
weekend. My friend's neice is taking Bead Stringing, so I made a bead in
her favorite colors, so she could use it in a project:

I've had a lot of fun making the faux turquoise. DD and I like to look at
them afterwards, to see what we see in them whether it's an alligator or a
humming bird.................. DD looked as this one and said, "I see a
gorilla paddling a canoe!.....................................And he's
wearing a bra!"

Wow. Very nice Jerri. I have been wondering how your landscapes where coming
along, since you sent me your "wonky" one, which I still have yet to use in
my druid necklace (started on it, but it is gonna take forever at 3
strands). They look lovely. Keep up the good work.

Thanks LC! And Omigosh, I didn't realize you were my Patron Saint! I guess
I'd better genuflect when I e-mail you!

Thanks Marissa! I have a favorite tree bead that I wear on a silver chain.
One day, I'd like to do something with seed beads to go with it.

Lol. A lot of times when you comment about something your DD says, I think
that it's something mine will say in a few more years.

Sure, I'll sell it! How about $25 plus shipping ($2)? I can get it to the
P.O. tomorrow.

That one made me laugh, and I sure needed a laugh today. (And your
daughter is a lot like mine - that's something she would have said.)
But I love, love, love the trees (especially the first one, and the
one at night). Any chance they're for sale? Hmmmm?

Thanks Cheryl! It's funny how you do something and then don't do another
one for a few years, and all of a sudden you love them again.
