I took this lovely photo of the sky on Monday evening. Are you wondering why I'm pointing my camera skywards?Well, for about three years I've been trying to make beads that are evocative of clouds. I get an idea, try it out, it goes wrong and I shelve the cloud bead plans. I do this every few months and never end up with anything vaguely cloud-like. Until now.
I was twiddling about with the cloud bead idea again and came up with these. They're very subtle but I think they have a definite cloudy fluffiness about them. They're quite reminiscent of those altocumulus clouds in the photo. Oooh, get me getting all meteorological!Now I have a basic cloud bead that I'm happy with I can hopefully develop the idea further. Stay tuned for cloudy progress . . . . .
Just posted a comment on flickr about the beads looking like clouds and then read your blog....the kind of clouds you can watch on whilst on your back in a field on a sunny day. Beautiful beads as ever - I think you have captured the clouds well

Thank you, Veryan! That's exactly the type of cloud I was going for.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to developing these.

I really like these Laura! I would describe these as looking like beads even if you hadn't said so! Lovely!
