I’ve always loved looking up at stars in the night sky and stories about stars have been about even since humans started to tell stories. We are in fact made up of the stuff from stars. Anyway the original plan had been to enter this into a competition (once done) but for several reasons it’s just not going to happen. Still I’ve been working on it and will hopefully have enough beads to get the vines done so that I can wind it into shape and work on the leaves and flowers if it’s not over doing it. Hopefully next fortnight I’ll be able to apply for Craft Victoria and set a few things in motion.


I’ve never really edited photos much but with my lack of decent lighting I ended up mucking about on light room and though I need practice the results look closer to real life than the original photo. And given that I want the colours to be as close as possible I think that it will be really important to learn to use the photo editing tools.

I did a bit better editing this photo and am pleased with how close the gold came out to real life. And yes I am still working on the golden set. its up to one tree topper and eight open baubles. though it has taken a back seat to the fairy garland. I was thinking of doing a Christmas in July thing but am not sure as it seems a bit cheesy and I really don’t know if that is something people are interested in or not. Hum maybe I’ll put some feelers out and see if it is something people are interested in. Well I’m not likely to do it in any event as I’m not really that interested in doing it.

Millie has been hanging about as usual and taking every opportunity too but in as she is of course more important than any thing else in the universe. She is right of course though we tend to disagree on this point when I am beading. I’m not really sure what else to say at the moment so I’ll leave it there until next time. Lou
