Jumping Into the Ocean

I'm just about ready to head out the door to go teach my bead making class - but I wanted to post a preview of the stash I'm gathering to work on my ocean project. These are some of the fibers I've selected. I have some other goodies up my sleeve, but those will have to wait for a later post - I don't want to ruin the surprise! :-)

There's such a variation here from dark to light that the colors of these fibers didn't register properly. That ball in the middle that looks almost white is actually a lovely minty green. The in-your-face green in the front is actually more of a yellow-green up-close-and-personal.

I have some things that arrived in the mail today that I'm going to try to incorporate into my mini-ocean. These will require some glass beads to be added to them - I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this all works. It's going to be pretty wild, I think.

And now I'm off to teach. Have yourselves a happy and creative day!
