A beforehand dreaming
Nyai and Elew Mompittseh from Elewmompittseh says
Native, the Mulberry sounds like something we might like to try...
Linda I like your Owls :)
Beading away here. I think I almost have my colour playing done now though, so soon I can get down to some serious beading.
I tend to get stuck on detail, so just like working with new colours, sometimes I try to go with almost no detail...more like an abstract or colour impression. It is actually hard for me, because I am so inclined towards tiny details...but it is fun, and opens things up a bit.
Here is a fun exercise, game, thing to do, that anyone can borrow if they want.
I started with a dream, but sometimes I just do a memory story, or imagination story...pick some key aspects, or characters...write down your storyline...and then you make a beaded story.
I woke to find myself surrounded by these very bright pink tulips

There was someone there telling me it was spring already, but I knew it was still winter...things shifted and I was indoors, looking out, at a Nor'Easter
It seemed that the storm was there for a long while...
I went outdoors to feel it, and see how long it would be there...and I stepped out into a world of ice...
As I stepped out onto the ice, things shifted to the frozen stream behind our place here, which goes along under the tree where the Hawks live

As I was walking along the frozen creek, I found an Owl feather
(though I forgot to alternate the lines, so I will make another pair later too)
The sunrise began, and as the warmth came, the ice was melting fast, almost all at once, and I could see little green shoots of new grass growing all around...
Hundreds of song birds and blackbirds were being very noisy in the trees over the stream,
so I decided to go out into the fields and dance with the sage...
being careful to go around the prickly pears...
There was of course alot more to the dream, but that is all I got done so far. Some I like better than others, but doing this opens up new ideas and fun places to go into with beading.
Just wanted to share, feel free to give it a go if you want to...

So that is it for now. I will be doing alot more earrings and small things, so I won't keep posting them all. Just a few here and there that I especially like, or if I do a necklace...but I wanted to share how I come up with colours and ideas. That is one way anyways :)

Aise everyone for the hearts! It is a fun way to go into a beading binge :) I am cooking a turkey so that I don't have to think about dinner for a few days...because I got lost in beads, and cannot seem to find my way back yet :P
I think it was a precog dream though, so more like a beaded weather forecast. It seems I was dreaming with Nemo on the 2nd... :(
Deanna, and all you northern new england people, Hunker Down!!! I usually only dream weather beforehand when it will be Really bad...things on tragic levels unfortunately, so make sure you get all your food, wood, candles, and stuff ready...

"Winter Storm Nemo is now poised to become the latest example of a powerful, potentially historic, February storm."

They posted that the same day I put the beaded dream story here. It is always kind of creepy feeling.
