"The Girls" Necklace Finally Started

Pictures forthcoming due to dropping camera on the floor.  (Whoops!)
Laid out my necklace of copper and amethyst on the board and started stringing.  I like the way it's coming out!  Addiing "the Girls" will be a breeze!

Before the After

Am experiencing camera difficulties. Dropped it on floor. Technically, it still works, but it seems like the recharge-ables last for about 5 - 10 minutes. Which is what the problem was first out of the box. Then, the time improved up a few sessions of 6- 10 pics. After dropping it, everything is back down to 5 mins for batteries and 4 pictures before the stick is full.
I'm also stalling because I've spent time at stupid temp jobs instead of in my studio creating and cleaning. So, there is nothing to show. No work/artistic life balance going here. Nothing to see.

Focus on Nature XI

from New York State Museum

Really amazing show of insects and other small, creepy and awesome animals going on at the New York State Museum.  Went with with Husband at his insistence.  (Sometimes, he just drags me out in spite of my self.)  Most of them used graphite and watercolor, but the control involved in their creation, so fine and clean is really amazing and I'm going back to see them again.  They seem primarily regional, but not necessarily so.
