I made a weird little fascinator in the shape of a bush hat, covered in mushrooms with beaded lace as mycelium like someone dropped it in the woods 5 years ago and just found it again. You know, as one does.

Been collecting quotes for a week, got maybe another week to go, then I can start matching them to keywords and the illustrations I've gleaned from what's frequently called the Peacock version. I'm excited for it to all come together!

I have been doing beadwork for 30 straight years. This is what 30 years of dedication gets you. I was making messed up pony bead lizards to start. I didn't even get to advanced bead weaving until I was in my 20s. Proficiency takes TIME.

My bee tree bracelet is begun. I'm excited about this one, if it turns out the way I hope it'll be a real work of art. Also proud bc all I'm using are a few reference photos, no other patterns, just my know-how and problem solving along the way.

My deck always has jokes 🙄 pulled the moon for you, everything feels weird, unknown, unreal, like a dream. I pulled a few more for some context. A time to endure quietly, but keep moving forward and keep yourself sharp through engagement with others who help you feel alive.

When skilled people bring together their talents it can build magnificent things. Are you asking those around you to join forces, making use of all your specialties? Do you need an outlet for your own expression of your ability, where you can soar because you're all offering what you're best at?

Steady, honest, true, and diligent. The consistency and the effort are what matters. When they feel like a drag, remember they're part of a process, not the whole process; there has to be some play, some enjoyment of the fruits of your work.

I've gotten enough done on this bracelet to see how it's going to start coming together and it's gonna be really neat, I think. I'm doing way too much for a state fair competition but it's satisfying nonetheless.
