Wednesday Worktable

Still working on the Cellini spiral project. Working the large tubular spiral components into a design is challenging, so I'll be doing a lot of playing, and undoing, most likely!

Yesterday afternoon I decided to put some freeform peyote ruffled "skirts" on the ends of the Cellini spiral tubes. I threw in some off-white freshwater pearls at the edges of the ruffles.

These skirts are supposed to hide the freeform peyote connectors I design to connect the 2 tubes to a focal bead.

I got a little bit of stitching done on the peyote connections last night, and will work on them more today.

Isn't that focal bead amazing?!

These are the beads I am planning to use in my freeform peyote.

Off to start playing!

Follow-up

As a follow-up to Tuesday's post: Am I the only one who sees this resemblance?

Don, Jr. seems like a nice-enough guy, but he may quite possibly be the Eddie Munster of this generation.

Grease is the Word

It has to be said.

It started wh:ile watching "Hawaii 5-0".

Scott Caan is a nice enough looking guy. I mean, he is no Alex O'Loughlin,

(you're welcome) but on the other hand I wouldn't throw him out of bed either, unless, that is, he showed up with this hairstyle he is fond of sporting of late:

Really? Psst ... this is NOT a good look!

But then I remembered the Trumpettes. Well, 2 of the Trumpettes - Eric and Don, Jr (DJ).



At least Ivanka's stylist hasn't steered her down this greasy road.

And then I started seeing it everywhere:



Oh, Zach.

and another Zach

Alec

Kellan

Oh, McGee...

Antonio

Travolta -- oh wait. That's actually Tony Manero. In the 70s. Nevermind.

Naturally, Brad Pitt has to get in this.

At least, it's better than THESE choices of his:



Gentlemen: Grease is just not the way to go. EVER.


But at least no one has gone HERE lately:

Hope I haven't given anyone any brilliant new ideas.
