Eggs or Water?

My rows of turquoise beads look kind of like eggs. I'm liking the blue waves better than the red bars, especially because the blue thread I used is shiny shiny shiny. I'm going to pull the black border out & make a light brown 'hoop' with darker brown stitching, kind of like a dream-catcher or shield.


I took the photos outside & in my kitchen. All the lighting in our house is rather yellow. I don't know why, for sure. The lamp by my desk has a soft white bulb w/a deep green shade. Rob's light is the only one with an honest-to-goodness yellow lampshade. My flash also tends to overexpose things during the daytime. Of course, I took the first couple of photos outside in full sunlight, & the freaking sun made the cloth look glaringly overexposed.

Embroidery spam behind the cut :D

( I love the dangly blue bead. Don't criticize it too harshly ;) )
