It makes my heart soar! My son (11) has been gone at BS camp since Sunday and is it every quiet. That's why I got all those sequins on. I'd do it all over again. I really like this page. <BR/><BR/>Robin, yes, I think you might be very right LH was looking for a safe haven and we created one for her without knowing it! Thanks for pointing that out to me. Good catch.<BR/><BR/>The beads I used are Czech 11s they're BuyLines 880 its a soft powdery butter yellow. Does that make sense. I just love this color. I'm not a big yellow person. My mom once bought this yellow quilted winter coat and I told her it reminded me of a banana! At least I could find her in a crowd.

That was a LOT of work! It looks very nice. I agree, I used to think sequins looked a bit tacky but now I kind of like tacky! But, your picture doesn't come across tacky but peaceful. Guess it depends on the subject, the color choices and so on like any other media.

I got a wedding invitation and I'm using the envelope as a size marker. Now that I've used these I want to go to Cartwright's and see the difference in their sequins. No, lj I'm not a speed demon but I have learned to bead in the car and since my son is at boy scout camp, it's very quiet and I had most of yesterday to work on it on and off all day and watch something other than Spongebob Squarepants.
