Spring! Hurry up!

This was so fun to make.

 Started with a length of ribbon a little longer than the circumference of my wrist.

This is an embroidered ribbon, looks like it was made on an embroidery type sewing machine, inexpensive, a little over a dollar for a roll. You can buy the whole thing with no need to  have it measured.

I used seed beads in a mix of greens, and pinks mostly size 11s,  Then i added glass leaves and blossoms in pink and green as well. A loop on one end will fit over one of three blossoms on the opposite end  giving you a closure to fit three sizes. A couple of hours on three evenings and it was done.

I love spring and have been celebrating it's inevitable entry into this year since, well, last year, solstice!!

today

It is art day at the clubhouse where a few of us who love to create go to play on Friday's. Last week someone else needed the clubhouse for a big sale so we've been 2 weeks and I'm anxious to get going. I'm taking acrylics and plan to start a mew picture of the yard with the fish pond from a photo I took last summer. It is sunny and beautiful in the photo and again today.
Could spring be truly thinking about settling in? I so hope.
