Can you believe that it is almost March! For my part of the world, that is like a faint light at the end of the winter tunnel.
March brings little longer days, and hopefully some mild weather to melt away all the accumulated snow.
Here in New Brunswick Canada, we broke the record for the most accumulated snow on record in February of any year! Last time I checked we were up to 120 cm and counting!! For those of you not in the metric world, that is 47.2 inches!
We have run out of places to move the snow out of the driveway and many neighbours are shovelling the snow off their roofs due to the heavy weight bearing on their houses!
So March is my month to think positively and bring on the sunshine and spring! The bead sets in this post are the start of my spring!
I have been playing with some silver infused murrini from Double Helix this week... and here are a couple of the groovy test beads!
These two below are on a base of CiM's blue opal, Electric Avenue.
This one is a big encased bead on a base of Double Helix Terra 2, looks like a big marble!
