Hello all! It’s Monday again, time for our last week of Autumnal beads. Although I’ve enjoyed this theme so very much, I’m tempted to continue on through October too – maybe some kind of variation on the theme. What do you think? Any ideas?
I’m also thinking of adding to my weekly posts by featuring a piece of jewellery on the theme too – art-bead laden. This might be one of mine, one of the ABS team’s – or it might be one of yours! Just like the art beads, you can leave links in the comments if you want the chance to be featured 🙂 Maybe I’ll even start a Pinterest board, who knows….(although this is unlikely – I’m the only person in the world who hasn’t really managed to get on board with Pinterest. Maybe it’s just my brain knowing that I do not need another time drain…!)
But onwards with our last Muse post of September. The piece I’ve chosen isn’t described by the creator as an Autumnal piece, but the colours, the textures…the crustic, rustic nature of it seems just perfect to me. Yes, it’s sea-themed, but it’s also of the earth, and Autumn is all about the earth for me.
