First Blogiversary

I've been wittering away on this here blog for exactly a year today. Now that's a lot of waffle!

Yesterday I was stuck for colour ideas so I texted my fella to see if he could think of any. Chris is good like that. He always comes up with great beady concepts when I'm having an I-can't-make-beads moment. Yesterday he sent me some links to underwater photographs which resulted in me spending ages trawling Flickr and Google looking at lots of pictures of vibrantly-coloured fish. A particularly groovy one gave me the idea for these 'Fiesta' beads. Nice and bright!

    These are simply gorgeous - I love the colours and think I know which type of little tropical fish was the inspiration!

    Have been there too, looking for inspiration, underwater scenes and galaxy images alway bring out something special. These last beads are really special and I love the colour mix.
