A colour palette inspired by raspberries, a mix of soft and bold to reflect femininity, gentle strength, and perseverance. Paired with honeycomb and bees (not pictured) to represent the bee’s continued dedication to pollenating our plant life and ensuring continued sustenance.
I started this piece in the winter, my first canvas since the start of the school year, as my language learning journey has required a shift in priority from beading to studying. In January, grief was added to the mix and my motivation to bead was nearly non-existent, as it particularly impacted my motivation and creativity. I did find some pleasure in beading special gifts for special people in my life though. But still, finding time to bead when I’m in a good head space and feeling my best to put good energy into my work has still been challenging. My beading mojo was at an all time high this weekend and I took full advantage of it, completing more than half of this piece! Hopefully it’s the start of more beading to come 🤞🏼
