My life word is: Hope!
My work word is: Detail!
I have been told that some of my work is not as "detailed" as others. In 2011, I plan to change that.
As I look around
Etsy at some of my favorite bead artists,
I notice the "detail" in their work.
For example,
Look at Marcy
Lamberson's work.
Here's an angel in her shop.
Notice the detail.
She holds a small blue bird in her hand.
Her dress has dots.
Her wings have creases.
Her cheeks are pink, and she wears a green halo.
Isn't
Tansy sweet?
Like Oprah says, "It's all in the details."
And she's right!
Skully in Love is from Sharon
Driscoll's store,
Right Turn
ArtWerks.
Notice
Skully's details.
His face is full of hearts.
The hearts are different colors and sizes.
His teeth are wide but perfectly spaced.
Each decoration on
Skully adds a bit more detail to his face.
He is
Skully in love!
This little ewe is from Nikki, aka Sheep Goddess aka
NLC Beads.
She is a
Blue Suede Sheep.Each dot is topped with another blue suede dot.
Her ears are turned over.
She has a nose and eyes that just say, "Love me!"
She is simple, but very complicated.
Each dot adds a detail.
Details!
Look at this
sweet 'gator from
MayBeads' shop.
This gator has toe nails. He has nostrils and a mouth.
Little green dots are his scales.
His hat has pom poms.
His eyes say, "Take me home!
Yes, it's all in the details.
Meet
Melvin from Paula's store, Island Top Glass Art.
Again, details.
Notice the little pocks on his cheeks.
His
tongue hangs out of his mouth like he's panting.
His snout is creased.
His eyes beg you to rub his ears, which are each a different color.
Details.
I look forward to adding more detail to my minimalist beads.
Detail!
All right: Hope and Details.
Welcome 2011!
