For my challenge, I thought of several good ideas - my own encounter six years ago with diabetes was a possibility. But I couldn't remember all the "pokes and prods". I thought of a life map. But whew! I am so busy with other things that may have to wait. But it is something I want to give a try. I finally decided on making a string of beads for every year I have taught. I have been in the school system for nearly 36 years, but only teaching for 35. So you will see 35 beads on my string. However the last one - this year - isn't finished so I decided to not complete the bead.

Hope you are having a lovely day and thank you for your comments! I also want to say thank you for the people who decided to follow my blog! I remember when I started and was afraid no one would bother to read this - I even cajoled my wonderful assistant principal (Amy, that's you!) to follow it so it wouldn't look so empty over there! Now I have 23!! Whoopee!
What a great idea making your very own bead of courage strand - love it - and like how the last is still a work in progress. B&W or color? would be lovely either way. Might be fun to keep adding to it each year and see where it goes? I subscribe to your blog in my feed reader - would hate to miss one of your posts both for the art but also enjoy what you write - always find food for thought in the posts.
ReplyDeleteOh my, how nice of you to say you enjoy my writing! You have made my day! As for adding to the strand - whew! Thirty six years may not get much more added to it, lol.
DeleteVery nice, Cathy :) I really like the story behind your design. I often struggle whether to add colour or not - particularly on a really detailed design - I'm sure it will look lovely regardless.
ReplyDeleteA great idea and you have worked it out beuatifully. I would chose not to add color, but .... it's up to you.
ReplyDeleteHow nice, and a great idea. To start with, I didn't realise that there was an unfinished bead, It looks as if it has tassles on it.
