Got the Beads from the Goodwill Bin

In my year-end post I mentioned that I am always on the lookout for seed beads. A pop-in visit to the Goodwill in Rancho Cordova, California, came through for me. 

Goodwill carts items for sale out in rolling bins. I snagged those beads along with a couple of other items from the bins. Is that an artist's palette or what? 

Beginning my online art class Design Fundamentals in a couple of weeks. This is a required course before you can move into upper level courses such as Painting I. As is my habit, I will post intriguing things from my coursework and some of my attempts at artistry. 

Working my way through the Sefiroth sewing project. Had to recut the bodice back because I biffed on the first cut-through. 

Hoping to have this cosplay completed soon.😀

Back to some brrr cold days in Northern California. Keeping the woodstove lit.🔥Here is Belle enjoying the warmth.
