I pulled all my swirly artisan beads out to admire while I decided what to make.  The pieces from my stash are: Andrew Thornton’s copper color polymer clay pendant, Heather Boardman’s two glass odisks, Cynthia Thornton’s metal snake pendant, Sally Sutherland’s etched glass-work tube bead, and the paisley donut bead with the metal swirl hanger is from Priscilla Maraben. The black and white heart bead and the star pendant are from De-stashes and I don’t know the artist. If anyone recognizes them, let me know!

I chose to work with Soul Silver’s etched glass tube bead and HMB’s glass disk. The swirls are so beautifuly subtle in the tube bead, and the swirl is so visible in the disk and I loved that contrast. Looking through my stash, I found this mermaid key from Green Girl, and realized it had ocean waves on it, which are the King Of Swirls! 

This is a blog hop!! Please take a tour of everyone else’s swirl designs for this month!

Art Bead Scene 2018

I haven't been using blogger much this year, 
I've been revealing on Facebook and other blogs like Art Bead Scene Studio. 

So, I though I'd post all of 2018's ABS Challenges so far this year.

Inspired By Reading!

This month's book was Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

One of the excerpts that inspired me regarding The Multi-Verse.

My Multiverse necklace!

My Multiverse is symbolized with the little Thornburg Bead Studio bird in her nest and the infinite number of outcomes which are represented by the Green Girl Studios connector and 

the multi-strands of multi-faceted crystals. 

This next photo is just because this little bird is SOO freaking beautiful, she needs her own photo.
