Pretty

Helena Bonham Carter: "No, I can never rely on Tim to make me pretty."

Me? I can only be very thankful that The Husband is a lot more short-sighted than he thinks he is! 8D

Look at those beautiful colors! This is lovely! (It might have looked a bit better with a touch of green... ha ha ha)

Nice shot of these pretty beads.
July 27th, 2012  
Beautiful...and no traces of green!!!!
July 27th, 2012  
Very creative, love the colour combination.

@pjonas Oh Patty that is so cruel:0))

Beautiful Livia, any green withdrawal symptons yet? ;0)

Lol what a great quote...nice pic

There must be a buggy in there somewhere, hehe. Love those beads, though. You have lots of fascinating stuff which I imagine that you keep well organized, in pretty boxes or jars, all neatly labeled, right?

P.S. I love HBC. I wish she would invite me to her house for tea and scones and then let me see her closet and all her wacky outfits. She is great.
July 27th, 2012  
I love how you have captured the light on the beads, lovely shot Livia
July 27th, 2012  
pretty shot. I hadn't thought of it before but she (HBC) almost never plays a woman that looks like she really does. Corpses, witches, apes...
July 27th, 2012  
Beautiful shapes and color! Lovely shot, Livia! What will you be making with these gorgeous beads?
July 27th, 2012  
Love the beads, Livia. Love that purple. And the light on them is lovely.

July 27th, 2012  
Nicely composed shot

@claireuk What do you think? I was staring at my leafy veggies during dinner. For a much longer time than I usually do. 8)

@meisen325 I use very practical, easy to stack, clear plastic boxes. That way I don't need labels, I can see what I want already. I'm as pragmatic as I am obsessive. 8) HBC fascinates me!

@marlboromaam Haven't the slightest clue! Haha. I almost always buy pretty beads just because they are pretty. I'll probably, eventually, use them but that all depends on mood and inspiration. Which can take days. Or years. 8)

@myautofocuslife I can do the same thing with my yarn stash. =) I understand completely! Sadly, I haven't picked up my hooks since I was laid off. It kind of took all the wind out my designing sails.
July 27th, 2012  
@marlboromaam I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that you'll get good news soon. 8)
July 27th, 2012  
@myautofocuslife You are an angel, Livia! Thank you from the bottom to the top of my heart. =)
July 27th, 2012

A great, big, crystal-colored, glowy and bright "THANK YOU!" to everyone for stopping by! They are Swarovski crystal beads. Totally sparkly in the light. Sometimes I take them out and stare at them. Haha. Thank you so much for your supportive and encouraging comments. I am grateful.
