Beads to Bracelets

My favorite bead store in Friday Harbor is having huge sale this week. So on Tuesday, I hopped on the inter island ferry and came home with this stash. Clearly one of my winter projects has been determined by this purchase. But I can’t think of a nicer way to spend the rainy days and nights of January and February in the Northwest. For me, working with these beautiful, bright colors and with beads that sparkle in the light is clearly a way to fight the winter blues.

Beginning Again
Posted by Susan Bradford on December 22, 2011 under Susan Bradford | Be the First to Comment
I made this drawing a while ago and found it this morning while looking through one of my sketchbooks. In the bottom right corner, I had written the words, “and so it begins again.” Because of this it felt appropriate to use it here, as one year is ending and another is about to begin. The colors seemed to also reflect the spirit of the holidays. And the imagery felt celebratory as well.
It has long been a practice of mine to use words in conjunction with form. Sometimes the words come first and then they determine what the imagery will be. Sometimes it’s the other way around. Using words helps me to understand my feelings and why I am creating that particular piece. Sometimes the words remain visible, and at other times the imagery obscures, or partly obscures, the words. It’s all good. Using the words is more for me than the viewer. I don’t really want to pin anything down too much.
