Leaving no stone (bead) unturned, I meditated with each bead...every trinket stitched in place securing their moment in time- representing a fleeting thought, a happy memory, or a loved one remembered.

I find it to be a nice approach to any artwork with a tedious process (like beading can be), to add thought or intent to each step. You could even consider it therapeutic- and who couldn't use a little art therapy during the Christmas season?

Wishing a Happy and Creative Holiday to you and yours!
