Making Waves Beadwork

Sometimes it’s good to make waves.

Other times, not so much.

I had been thinking about making waves for a while but, well, it just looked like a lot of work.

I am not adverse to that but I have to be in the right mindset and the beads have to be in a cooperative mood.

That dilly dallying all changed when I set eyes on Carol Huber Cypher’s cover of Mastering Beadwork.

I couldn’t take my eyes off the undulating, colorful waves of color.

When I started drooling on the book, I knew I had to take that horse to the water.

So I did.

I used a different bead pattern and color palette than Carol but got a similar result
