I have just finished all the motifs for the mirror magnets over 30 in total and all but two are stuck on. It was very difficult photographing them but managed a few reasonable pictures in the end. By tatting them I used up a lot of odd beads that have been lying around and also managed to reduce my 'bead soup' a little, although need to try harder with that problem!
This afternoon I read about the Aka tribe from a copy of the National Geographical Magazine, they live in the northeast corner of India. Apparently they have more than 26 words to describe beads. Beyond being objects of adornment, beads are status symbols and currency. Do you know what I could go with that idea!
I seem to have a lot of bead spillages and now have two containers full!
But they look so beautiful when all together.

Perhaps you could try to pay your grocery bill with beads next time you shop? Pretty mirrors.
ReplyDeleteThink I might get locked up for trying that Jane!
DeleteThose are wonderful!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks God's Kid they took time to make but well worth the effort
Deletelove that design! - and what you need to find is a Bead Mat - you can have all your beads on one, turn it upside down and they won't fall off. Brilliant invention.
ReplyDeleteMaureen it looks as if I need to buy one of those sticky mats, but I also need to be a lot more organised and tidy!
DeleteThey look great and I bet that is tricky to take a picture of them for the post, many times I say that tatting and having a blog makes you become a photographer !
ReplyDeletethose are beautiful beads!
True about becoming a photographer - never taken so many pictures since having a blog. The beads may be beautiful but I am always having accidents with them and gettting them off the floor!
DeleteWow- aren't they lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteThey look Lovely :-))
ReplyDeleteThanks for the trivia on beads, too !
