I’ve mentioned before that I’m an avid reader over at Art Bead Scene. Their monthly challenge had provided inspiration for me in my beading adventures.

In the picture you can see some long, faceted, pale green drops. Those were gifted to me from my good friend Draven last year some time. I think they pull the pale green out of the painting nicely and the shape is perfect, too!
Now it’s time to get some dinner. I think we might cheat and head to Sonic for some tater tots. :)
Blessings.
Peace.
