Out of the Studio Wednesday

No school - yay! I love the feeling of hibernation when I hear the "no school announcement". Lily usually has a friend over and I get some serious studio time.

Today, I was working in greens and browns. Here's what developed . . . and no, these are not 14 beads, they're only 7 turned over!
















I've been listening to audiobooks in the studio for the past 6 months or so. I love it because my mind goes somewhere else (is it ever where it's supposed to be?). I thought it might be distracting but there's something really cool about being read to. The first one I listened to was "Kite Runner", read by the author. I knew when the book was done, I'd miss his voice. Now I'm into serial killers - James Patterson style. That's normal, right? :o)

I think it is wonderful to listen to audio books while working in the studio! I used to do that, but now I find I'm making beads while working at the computer. Adding one more thing would be taking the multi-tasking concept way too far! :-)

Need to get someone else to do my computer stuff so I can get back to making beads and listening to stories. Sounds like Heaven!

Your singular style and a wonderful combination of colors - exceptional as always!
I haven't done the audiobook thing yet, but I'm taking a road trip next week - to teach my first polymer clay classes! - and have loaded up my ipod with a Neil Gaiman short story collection, read by the author (known to me in my head as "His Dreaminess" - I'm such a fan!)
