Creative confusion

I browse the net so much to see the beading creations - it is like an hour's mental therapy. I am amazed to see so many beautiful imaginative patterns, colour choices, innovations, styles, combaintions - oh! you name it. All at once I want to bead them all, but as a starter, I am slow and what I see and think I can make never ever comes out the way I visualise. That sort of puts a damper on my eagerness to bead. Besides I have a 3 month old, a part time job and tons of other things that demand attention. Amidst this, I must find a quiet hour all to myself to do beading, taking a photo and uploading it regularly to fulfil the blog posting.

I am currently into Peyote. I actually like it because you can stitch the beads together for it to appear like a loom. I have gone beserk buying beads. Now it is time to put them into some form of a pattern. There are so many circling my head at the moment. Do beaders have too many thoughts or just one fine thought which they create - I wonder!

I am a white lover so my first creation I have decided will be in white. I have a few beads and it is now a matter of getting started. As Confucious said - a journey of a thousand steps begins with the first. Let me put my first step by threading the needle.

I embark on my first project with much trepidation - will it be the way I am visualising it at the moment - will it never materialise - will it be better (wishful thinking).

Just bead it!
