I just finished the December Spotlight necklace, and I think it turned out well. Akihiro Ohkama’s mosaic bead is fabulous, so it was easy to design around. That is one project I can cross off my list, now I need to get back to work on the rest because every flat surface in my office is covered with projects that need to be completed. Right now I am working in peyote for Vintage Style, but if I need a break from that I can turn in my chair and pick up a stringing project. Then behind me I have right-angle weave, a project with wire and crystal cup-chain, some bead embroidery, and more right-angle weave. Sometimes I wonder how I will get all of this done, but I know it's worth it, there will be something for everyone in our next few issues.


That reminds me, if you have a problem with any project you are working on, either a design dilemma, or perhaps a certain stitch is getting you frustrated, let me know, I am here to help! Submit your question to anna@beadandbutton.com.
