For Your Bead and Beading Inspiration....

This really is from nature.

Macro adds pixelation to this photo, but

I see inspiration here.

Here's a bigger version.

What do you see?

Add a little green to the mix.

Do you see this little critter?

Add the curb to the photo.

This little toad looks remarkably like the curb.

It was hard to get this little guy to hold still.

If I didn't know where he was, I'd think that the red rock in the curb would be interesting, too.

See the red rock?  That little toad would fit right there.

So, let's see how you use this for inspiration.

You could even write a story!
