Wow! It's been a crazy past couple of months!
Dealing with health issues (Vertigo) and (like many others) crazy weather, it's been difficult to get any beading done.
My discussion of spirals just may suit this years weather. ;)

The one thing about spirals, is that they are so adaptable. Not to mention so many different varieties. You have russian spiral, flat spiral, herringbone spiral, peyote spiral, cellini spiral and dutch spiral (which I have yet to try). They can be made to be loose and flowing, or tight, depending on the look you're after.
Spirals aren't just for necklaces & bracelets, they can also be made into earrings and pendants. :)
I love making spirals and there are some fabulous free beading tutorials out there for you to experiment with. My advice? Follow Jill Wiseman's tutorials. Not only are they easy to follow, she makes them fun and interesting! The Potomac Bead Company and Kelly Dale of Off The Beaded Path also has some great video tutorials as well.
So when you feel like your world is "spiraling out of control", pick up your needle and grab some beads and stitch your spiraling world way into something cool and unique.
Special thanks to all the designers out there who have provided free beading tutorials and videos!
See you again soon with hopefully some new work! :) Stay safe in this crazy weather and always stay prepared.
