Glad to hear from you, Colleen! I forgot to include non-"making" activities as projects, as you did, although I now realize I should. I tend to take reading for granted, but it does inform my artwork. I'm also learning to play acoustic guitar, which makes my hands and fingers work differently. Does anyone alternate with puzzles and games too?

Another view of the same piece showing the cylinder bead portion of the piece. Some see cylinder beads (thin-walled, large-holed beads with a perfectly square profile, like a section of tiny pipe) and Czech seed beads (shaped like a doughnut or bagel) are like oil and water. I say they're like oil and vinegar---delicious when mixed...

A collaborative piece from the Geometric Beadwork book. Kate McKinnon is a diehard Nymo/cylinder bead fan while I sing the praises of Czech seed beads every chance I get. Who wins in the piece? We both do! I'm using both types of beads in this piece. I encourage you all to mix elements you're told don't match.

Hi Donna,
I agree---sometimes you have to slog through a snag, and sometimes you need to step back from it and let it untangle. I recently heard about a writer who works in 90-minute blocks. He always stops and does a different task or activity, even if it seems he's on a roll, because he always found his productivity dropped after 90 minutes no matter what. Interesting!

Hi Ifama, and welcome!
Being able to work spontaneously and go from one project to another is great, especially when other areas of life are less spontaneous. Going from one medium to another is good---it allows for cross-pollination, so to speak. Thanks for sharing!

Hi, Cheryl---welcome! I just returned from teaching a bunch of truly great, fun, creative beaders in St. Louis and am now catching up on things at home. I'll have lots to talk about---I hope you enjoy the discussion and feel free to join in!

Hi Pat, I'm left handed, too, and I understand what you have to go through with instructions. Take a look at the class first along with the handout sheets, and let me know if they make sense. I can easily flip/reverse the illustrations in the handouts for you if that helps. The broadcast shows the thread path going counterclockwise in the photos, but clockwise in the diagrams.
