I spent the last few hours chilling out, working on this beaded peyote stitch "amulet bag."

it's much, much smaller than I thought it would be. Uh... ok.
it's kind of similar to the stuff at this link, except... the design i am using is very abstract, sort of geometric. no cheesey crosses or pictures of dogs or flowers. tho i did make a little flower border on top that looks kind of like "lazy daisies".

someone named Elizabeth Ann Scarborough does patterns for this site and I'm pretty sure it's the fantasy author of the same name. and I have to admit that her Mersicians pattern (um, mermaids playing guitar!) makes me giggle.

(most of the stuff on this site is really, really horrible. fair warning.)

but it's still occupying, and... nice to do a project that progresses quickly.

ouch.

ARGH! CRAMPS!!
