Dithering . . .

Hello, I'm Kathy B from the Pacific Northwest and new to BJP this year. After having viewed and read about most of the past two years, I couldn't resist joining the challenge (with some gentle nudging from previous participants). Bead embroidery is also new to me. I recently finished my first project, a beaded button, after taking a class from Robin in November.

But now I must decide what to do and how to do it for BJP. I'm having trouble deciding on a size: If it is small, it might be difficult to use a wide variety of stitches, sizes, and colors of beads. But if it is large, it could be time-consuming to encrust or design a cohesive pattern. And what shape should it be? Should it be something practical to be used or worn? or something to be viewed / displayed but where, how?

Decisions, decisions, oh dear . . .

My blog for beady and other subjects is Beady Zoo, but it is in serious need of updating. Maybe after I choose a size, shape, theme, oh my.
