Ophelia
29/11/2009 by Peter Sewell.
You wouldn’t think something so simple could draw so much blood, or cause as many beads to break, but still………………..
It was such a tight weave, and I was playing ‘how many times can I get a needle through this little glass bead’, that something had to give - anyway, she’s finished, and this one is Nina’s!

Katya
21/11/2009 by Peter Sewell.
Here she is at last……………………..the first design since my shoulder went silly! I thought I might just go over the top and make something totally unwearable - suppose it depends where you shop really. ‘Ophelia’ is going to be much simpler!

……………..and they’re off!
14/11/2009 by Peter Sewell.
Well, it was actually supposed to be one, but I started making a beautiful spiral necklace for ‘Ophelia’ which didn’t quite go with all the pointy sparkly stuff I already had planned, therefore the beautiful half made necklace will be the base of ‘Ophelia’ and the sparkly pointy bits will be ‘Katya’. Which means I’ve gone from being completely unable to bead anything to making two designs at the same time………………hence the title of this post.
I have also discovered beading is not like riding a bike - the first two rivolis had to be pulled apart, as did the triangle, because they looked as if I’d never picked up a needle before! So, after using fingers as pin cushions, breaking beads, and shredding Fireline, I’m back to normal - oh, wait, that is normal. Katya is definitely looking good though, I’ll let you know when she’s finished!

Tentative steps…………………
08/11/2009 by Peter Sewell.
I have started a spiral using 15s and 3mm fire polish. If I can manage that I am considering telling myself that I’m all better. I am aiming to be back on Etsy with some new stuff in the New Year, however, if I keep recovering at this rate it may be more like in the new month! As we are 35 minutes away from ‘the long dark teatime of the soul’ - 4pm on a Sunday, it’s a Douglas Adams thing - I shall see if I can force myself to do some work! No more literary masterpieces for a while - Jabberwocky is lined up for the next one - so I’ll find a funny……………………..

The Raven - with no excuses for putting it here!
04/11/2009 by Peter Sewell.
| The Raven By Edgar Allan Poe Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly, But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only
Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken, But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling, This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
Then methought the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
“Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!- prophet still, if bird or devil!- “Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil- prophet still, if bird or devil! “Be that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend,” I shrieked, upstarting- And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting |

Beadwork magazine
02/11/2009 by Peter Sewell.
This mag is the best on the market for seedbeaders, and has some serious eye candy in it - as well as a lot of US adverts, but, like Playboy, it’s the bits in between that are good! Anyhoo, if you remember, I sent three designs in on the offchance that I might get noticed, well………………….. ‘Sonya’ will be in the Oct/Nov 2010 issue! I am more than happy about being accepted, even though I said I wasn’t bothered about being published - this may be a change of direction! Bad news……….? I have had to buy another copy of Microsoft Office to put all the instructions onto Word files - I deleted the original shortly after I bought this laptop in a fit of anti Microsoft pique. That’ll teach me.
Here’s this year’s figures for hits on this blog - thanks for looking!

F1 season is over.
01/11/2009 by Peter Sewell.
Now how will I get two hours of nothing to do every fortnight? Glad Brawn triumphed - did I say I told you so? However, tip for next season…………………?………………Alonso in the 2010 Ferrari. I have to be wrong sometime, but if I’m right you’ll never hear the last of it!
Now……………..have I got a Ferrari piccy……….? Nope, thought I had.
Aha!!! found one!
