March’s Chaste Moon
For this month’s Beaded Journal Page, I had the work do double duty. There was a challenge in one of my favorite forums (Bead Arts forum) to create something “hidden in plain sight”. I chose to work braille words into my journal page, using a different size (but same color) beads. […]

What’s Up Wednesday!
It’s not that easy to do ugly. I mean to do really gut-twisting ugly.
