Just talked to Miz Sara. :-)
(I'm loving that she's calling me regularly!)
She was all, like, "I'm going stir-crazy and I want company!"
And I said "Go to the $pread Magazine launch party! You're on the same island! Take advantage!"
So she's going to go. :-D
Yay for networking and having fun at the same time! :-D
Anyway. I'm sleepy and exhausted, so I'm going to go to bed. But I've re-organized my closet a little bit and sorted my beads into various earring configurations, so I'm happy. :-)
In considering Quarto bracelets, I'm thinking I could put a charm on each one. A train engine for Sei, a bee (or a bee hive) for November, a key (and/or a lock) for Oleg, and a book for Ludoviko. Sei and Oleg would have burgundy and crimson, though I'm not sure which would be for which. November would have carnelian, dark honeyed amber. Ludoviko would have scarlet, half for his cimeric wife.
This might or might not work.
And it would still require me to find the right beads.
It would be easy enough to just do a triple-strand of each - carnelian, coral, garnet... but I can't do rubies for crimson, so another stone (cherry amber?) would have to be found (possibly Czech glass, alas, but it would do) - possibly with the middle strand being of larger beads than the two that flanked it, and then add a ribbon tie (non-functional, just a large-looped bow, sewn in place) and the charm in question, and call it done. But I'm not sure if that's quite fantastical enough.
Anyway. Thinky-think. :-)
- TTFN,
