My friend Tamara and I did a bead exchange from the various beads we each are using to make our treasure strands.
This is the one I created with the beads she sent me:
[Image description: A strand of beads of many colors and sizes.]
It’s a fabulous mix of amber, jasper, moonstone, glass beads, metal beads, and beads that I don’t recognize and she can’t remember what they are.
It’s now the longest strand! Since I have to re-string the strand for Loki that came undone at PantheaCon in February, I will make it a bit longer to keep a proper symmetry with this one.
First, though, I need more jump rings—somehow, I only have tiny ones that aren’t the right size for attaching to the brooches. Pictures to follow once that happens!

From our friends at The Audubon Society: “This beautiful short dance film by Sarah Bush Dance Project, artist in residence with Richardson Bay Audubon Center, in partnership with sound designer and composer Miles Lassi. A contact call is a type of call used by birds for the purpose of letting other birds know their location. We listen for these calls to learn the language of the birds and to make contact with the more-than-human world.”
