I love to make these. I find their symmetry soothing and placing all those dots gets quite hypnotic. I could sit and make these kind of beads for hours and hours on end. I had my iPod on while I was creating these - Kaiser Chiefs, if you're interested. Their new album is pretty dang brilliant!
Gorgeous Laura, what a productive session. Does your choice of music affect the pattern/colours you choose? Just wondering...I hoover quicker if the music is funky and fast:)
Veryan - yeah, I guess it kind of does. What mood I'm in affects the kind of beads I want to make and it also affects the type of music I want to listen to while making them. Sometimes it'll be classical or soundtrack albums, other times it'll be loud guitar stuff.
Sometimes I put a DVD on to listen to. That sounds odd, I know, but I think you can get lost in the dialogue and soundtrack of a familiar film or TV show in the same way you can with music.
These are sooooooooo yummy!!!
