Hi Everyone!
Huurraayyyy. I know that creepy prednisone is out of my system because I am full of energy and cleaning the clutter in my art room. LOL If you know me at all you know I am a clean freak and hate clutter. I also finished up another round of cabochons. (pronounced cab O shawn) For my non beading pals, and I was asked this in a comment, cabochons or cabs have typically been used in jewelry making. Cabs can be made out of any material but in the older days precious and semi precious stones were cut into all sizes and shapes of cabs. As the beading world began to explode in the early 1990s cabs began to be made out of any material imaginable. From glass, wood, carving stone, clay, resin, polymer, digital, tooooo well, if you can name it has probably been made into some type of cab. In my 50 year career in beading cabs were an essential part of my jewelry. However, I have always used cabs in my leather sculpture and multimedia art as well. You can see more of my cab at beadwright.com where I also hand paint glass cabs. Beaders and artists alike purchase my cabs, and of course the best beading foundation is my Nicole's BeadBacking. OK, I am plugging. LOL
Hope this explains a bit about cabs.
Have a great Saturday.

Beautiful work! Valerie
My husband is weaning himself off the Pred too. It's hard and it has been a good thing for him to manage some terrible pain that he's had. But he is down to just a small amount now. I'm proud of you! And I read what you wrote to him. LOVE your beautiful beadwork! What an eye you have for beauty!
So many lovely examples!
Though I have not been beading, I can attest that your backing is the BEST!! Love your cabs too.
