Today was a fairly easy design day as I simply finished up the last two pieces in the garnet & pearls series. I think I needed the break, anyway. I’m feeling a bit unmotivated as I deal with some emotions stemming from my mother’s death a few months ago. Strange how those things come up at different times.

Even after all that – I still have some of these garnet beads left! The smaller sized beads are definitely deceiving. 🙂
