Pull the shades!

"~little windows into the personality of an artist ~"
This is one of my work areas in my Arizona studio, my mind and personality isn't much different. Grinning - Does the world really want to look in my window?

My personal preference is to see photos and progress of everybody's work. I can't work in a Vacuum and find that creative give and take makes for a more interesting outcome on any project. I thrive on bouncing creative ideas around, which is why I attend Bead Caves and teach - I learn as much from my students as I teach them.

For a couple of years I've been saying that I wanted to do a major, long term, project and I thank Robin for the opportunity to do just that - one that really grabs my attention, can be broken down into manageable chunks and gives me some focus & deadlines to meet. I'm mulling around a "theme" or "structure" for my project. I grew up in Chile, so I'm thinking of my structure as a very loose association based on an Andean Quipu, which was sort of personal notes in cord and knots. In reality, I personally need the physical structure of the "blank pages" of a journal to write upon with beads. What I bead for those pages will be what each month throws my way. Each string will be a month, recorded somehow, in beads.
