The Next Step: Desktop, January 25, 2012

I finished making twelve goddesses and hung them up to survey my work. Big mistake, thinking I was done, right? As I looked them over I couldn't help but notice I have made some polymer clay beads that, surprise, match a few of my goddesses.

So, I pull all my large hole beads, polymer and glass lamp work alike, in order to peruse the color explosion in front of me. I start draping beads on hooks with coordinating goddesses.

Then I sit back to try to grasp this new element...beads, too? I look at the goddesses I didn't find beads to match. Are they "naked" or actually more powerful?

I try the switch between with beads and without beads with the red goddess because I loved her without extra beads. My quandary remains, "With or without more beads?" I put off (procrastinate)such decisions before I make a spontaneous choice I'll be sorry about later. I have put away the bead madness and am thinking, "Spring!".
