Remember yesterday when I said this beading thing could be addictive? Well, here is another beaded project. Originally the flower was supposed to be pink but the yellow seemed to work better. For now it is attached to a headband but that may change to a brooch. While I was photographing the subject of this post, it reminded me of a cruise that we went on. The ship was the Carnival Conquest and until we got aboard the ship, I was unaware that the decor was all impressionist artist influenced. Just wandering around and looking at the decor was like being in a floating gallery. Why this post reminds me of the cruise, the gigantic sunflower in this atrium! Here is a picture of it. Yes, another item influenced by Van Gogh, go figure.
I am really not sure what this was, but now it is a love wall hanging. I got it at a thrift store for.99. There is a small hole at the top so it probably was something that was hung up, but for what purpose, I haven't a clue. 
I had a difficult time trying to decide what to do with this one, so it sat on the floor looking boring and sad for over a month. Finally, I painted it a burnt orange and added the black design and the circles. A word was necessary, but which one? Hope? My name? Love? That was it! I redid the lettering a few times until settling on this style. It fits with the black shapes and if you just glance at it quickly, the word doesn't jump out right away. I liked that aspect, so I went with it. L O V E!
