Thank you

You know ( spoken convivially), I want to thank you all for coming to my blog, or "bog" as I sometimes mistakenly type it and then luckily correct. Or maybe it's my "fog". sometimes. but usually my bog.
Yeah, thanks for visiting my bog.
I like when you leave comments and I feel special. I do!
I have have plenty of journals online, but this is my favorite!!! Just so you know! I don't do it because I have to, I do it for the fun!
Today I finished a small, relaxed, but pretty colored piece I might put in my gallery. It actually features a weave I already have there, but in a different CONFIGURATION[<--popular word, at the moment, covers about everything you can imagine]. This is the parallel weave which I have formerly made with small 6mm stones decorating it, charms, and now, strung with these pretty square boro beads. You can do so much with it! I need to redo this bracelet, however. I realized I must finish the part where the maille ends with soldered rings, not cut jump rings, or the beading wire will get shredded eventually. That would be shoddy work.
So I will do this--why not???, seeing as I have already spent WAAAAAAAAAY TOO MUCH TIME ON this little bracelet ! Hope you like it. Name suggestions?

Thanks for writing Jean! I'm glad that I got an opportunity to get to know you through this medium. It really has been a blessing. I think it is easy to take for granted the friends in your life (some of which one might never have actually met in person) and how they take you away from your everyday problems and woes.

So...

THANK YOU! THANK YOU for being you and for being awesome.

Spotted.

That's my name for this piece.

It's just one word, like a cool rock band. The spots in the beads are reflected in the chain maille pattern.

Spotted

Yes.
