More IS MORE

A photo of my studio! and another from the other direction, showing my new design wall. In the pop-up photo you can see the extremely beaded piece above the ironing board.
I beaded yesterday for about 5 hours, which is an amazing amount of time to bead. As it is hard on my body, I try to bead for small incriments and give myself rest periods. I do have fatique in my right arm and beading exacerbates it.
Maybe I shouldn't use big words if I can't spell them, but they pop into my head and I can't seem to access my inner thesaurus to find a better one!
Anyway, I love to bead, it calms me.
When beading or embellishing, my basic thought process is- More IS MORE.

Thanks for the glimpse inside your studio, I love seeing other people's work spaces. Looks like you are a tidy person, so am I.
I am looking forward to seeing the beaded piece when it is finished.

I'm on danny's list and so have been reading, without understanding, your posts about drawing with the sewing machine. I am BLOWN AWAY with your work. These are lovely, lyrical drawings.

Having known Melanie for a VERY long time, I am totally blown away by the neatness of her workspace. I already know that she is most likely the most talented, creative person I will EVER encounter, but neat? Melanie?
