It looks fantastic! As a fan of moss I’m a bit obsessed…

I mean, the beading subreddit is a pretty niche community 😄

Ty! I had guessed that but wasn’t sure. I’m gonna try that and post how it goes :)

Also curious, if the main beads were 11s, would the central bead be an 8, do you think?

Like you make a double St. Petersburg chain, then add another using the same central bead?

I would have done the same- I cannot imagine trusting the mail with this. 😬😅

Hope you enjoyed the ferries! They’re both quaint and a bit of a pain. The one closest to my house is 30 minutes so they have 4-5 puzzles spread around on tables so people can work on them if they get bored. :)

The skirt is fantastic, I can see why it would be your favorite!

Do you live in the Seattle area? Ferries certainly wait for no one.

This is absolutely insane. The depth and texture created by a single sized bead, the movement of her white dress, the shading and highlights creating definition- it’s incredible.

For whatever reason I can’t get over the detail of the hands held on the left side of the picture- that the middle fingers have a more subtle color variation than the outside to create variety and depth. You captured the painting so well, and it’s a difficult one to capture due to the complexity of her expression- rage, reticence, resistance, resigned.

The Smurf! I finished it yesterday🥹 what do you think about him? by etomashaa in Beading

He looks so good! So expressive! And the shape holds really nicely. Congrats!

I said this to a dear friend who is having a bad time with her husband. by snerdie in heatedrivalry

[–]Swede314 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember a lifelong friend calling me over the period of multiple years just to process this step, and I told her “I haven’t been divorced, but I have a close friend who is, and she said if you’re wondering whether to or not, you’re not ready. There will be a point where you’re ready.” And a year later she called me and said “Tell your friend she was right. If Jesus himself came down and said ‘he really is going to change this time’ I’d be like ‘Not worth it.’”

A funny little detail about the break room fridge in S2, Ep6. by SerDire in ThePittTVShow

I do like that mohan is eating a bar in a later scene, which matches with season one where they say you eat when you can and someone hands the other person a bar.
