The last few blogs have been pretty solemn; therefore I can’t resist putting up the picture below. Late last night when I finished stringing several necklaces, a few moments of work time remained. The only thing immediately available was a group of small rocks and wire. Wrapping seemed appropriate.

If you know me, you would probably acknowledge that I’m a planner. I like order in my clutter, but have worked for years to be more free thinking. That’s what I really enjoy about the design work. Whether appropriate or not, I try to keep from over planning. Last night, however, a little planning might have helped.

Things were going “so so” until I got to the last rock. It just wouldn’t do anything. The back of it was flat, but the alternate side was raised to a triangular shape in the middle. Of course the wire slipped off of everything I tried. Being a stubborn person, I just wouldn’t give up. Finally, the wire work developed into the beady-eyed fellow in the middle of the picture. All I could do was laugh and head for bed. I’m still laughing at this little guy with the funny hat.

I’m also amused that as I’ve worked this morning, the radio has continued to play Bob Dylan selections since his 68th birthday is tomorrow. Do you think this fits??? I wouldn’t want to insult Dylan or his music, but perhaps from time to time he, too, may have been beady-eyed. What do you think? Laugh with me!
