CHALK is BACK!

If you haven't noticed yet, posted on the right are a few photos of the latest bead works of By Beaded Story.  Last week was about the new TALA Drop, and this week is all about CHALK bead necklaces. 

It's been two years (or more?) since I last made a Chalk necklace (click here to see the chalk of yesteryears).  I never thought I'd get back the knack for CHALK, especially with my obvious preference for these 4 out of 6 By Beaded Story collections:  (arranged according to preference)   TALA (glass collection) , BEADED CLOTH (cloth necklaces), FLORA (nature-inspired) and LASO (ribbons).  The last collection, BUTONES (buttons), entails a separate feature.  Unfortunately, this I have not talked about yet except for a photo posted in this blog.

As mentioned in By Beaded Story's multiply site, I have chosen to go slow with my bead works this year ... which has proven to be a worthwhile strategy to keep that fire-in-the-belly burning. So far so good and I'm proud of myself for keeping up with the promise.  Believe me, I've learned my lesson.  Stress equates to a grim dead end.  Thus, "having fun" with beading remains to hold that top spot in my list.

Anyway, I am ecstatic and without further ado, CHALK is BACK .....
