It is autumn here in Perth, though it still feels like summer. I wanted to do some beading that reflects the season. I rummaged through my bead collection and found some leaf pendants I bought a while ago.

Then I went googling to see what was out there with leaf theme. I found this link with some pretty leafs made of brick stitch.Beaded leaves. But what took my breath away was a collection of leaves collection of leaves. I liked all of them but this was my favourite.

My sister has started a facebook page of her seed bead creations. Have a look and don't forget to 'Like' it.

By the way some more of my bead expressions are at ReyiDesigns.

I have started a painting this morning. I don't know how long this will take. It is a big one this time and I am working with acrylic medium. It is sitting on the easel in the living room, so that I can go see it from the kitchen and I can paint whenever I get a chance. But unlike beading, once I mix my paint I can't stop until I finish using that. With beading I can stop at any stage.

Got to go.
