beading…no, not of the anal variety

arch got me hip to beading. They recently have been excelling and dominating the beading world, so of course, I wanted to see the hype. Putting plastic beads on elastic string, sounds simple right? Wrong.


The mental anguish involved with understanding a bead pattern is something my feeble mind can’t fathom. In addition, my eyesight is apparently that of a clumsy pangolin so distinguishing a light peach translucent bead from a light tan translucent bead is akin to rocket science. I struggled to do what arch considers child’s play. Arch is currently making a kandy cuff with a cool design and as for myself? After raiding their pantry, I have found myself snuggled on the inflatable day bed they purchased for me, looking horrified as I watch them dismantle said cuff to “make it perfect.” 

There is something so menacingly peaceful about watching them destroy their own work. Some ode to the ultimate artistic control and it’s impact on a simple onlooker.

Deadly.

this is your world (and if you think about it, isn’t the world just one big bead anyway?)
