Good morning BS! I'm making some triangular earrings with teal beads for an Italian client. I haven't noticed how much time has passed😅 -always like this with beads- ...and that I have to make lunch for me and the kids!😵 Racing to the kitchen to whip up something to eat 😂 What's on your agenda?

That's me with my friend Chris 🫶 Today we finished the Montepulciano harvest 🍇 Two weeks of early wake-ups when it's still pitch dark outside, gathering in the countryside with strangers who become new friends. Lunch breaks together and then back to work. Physical exhaustion, which I prefer to 1/

It's been a while since I shared the philosophy behind my work. In this photo, my hoop earrings it's been photographed together with dentist tools -it means that you don't need to have a glamorous life to wear what you like.Do you have a dental appt? Yep, that's your occasion!✨ What's your opinion?🙃

The hoops are made of leather (orange and fuchsia) and beads (turquoise), with a silver hooks. The photo is taken from above. One earring standing upright on a white surface; in the background on a glittery fuchsia surface the other one blurred.

Hi! It's going to be a stormy morning today (Tango🐶 is already under my desk for a while, poor love 😙). Am I bummed? Nope! Time to tidy up my notes and start writing my next beading project. Perfect day to be glued to my PC -listening to the soulful voice of Sam Smith. How about you?

My latest project’s a bit of an odyssey. First I picked the wrong beads, then got the right ones but… turns out Toho (from my earlier BS test) and Miyuki behave differently -and of course I picked Miyuki for that color (which I’m now unsure about too!). Long story short: the tutorial’s not /
