AD: More Pillows

AIIIIIII! Those are GORGEOUS!

They would make the most fabulous anklet.

-Kalera

Wow, that's almost wierd... I love to do sets of seven, all the same size! What about the sets of seven draws you? I often feel almost as if it's all one "bead", and it's not done until there are seven.

-Kalera

OMG! 'important enough'???

She was the one that wasn't important enough. The cheek of some people.

-Su

I totally agree. Hmmph... she didnt have the imagination to show the beads to their full potential. Her lacking, not yours. Diana

Seven is one of those universal symbolic numbers It combines the triangle/trinity (most stable shape) with a square/box/etc. Godhead and base. This also gives a three point arrow with block of force behind it =>. Which is also a good basic focal with accent arrangement. A triptych with end pieces.

Tina

I remember that. OMG! I remember thinking "WTF? What is an "important" bead?"

I am pretty sure I have that bidder blocked.

-Kalera

Yeah... it just feels right, and also I start to get bored if I make more.

Although, strangely, I can make TWO very similar sets of seven in a row without getting bored.

-Kalera

It could also represent the seven directions: north, south, east, west, up, down, and here.

-Kalera

vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from Kalera Stratton :

]north, south, east, west, ]up, down, and here.

ROTFLOL!

Or the seven forces of Nature: Earth, Wind, Rain, Fire, Chocolate, Peeps and Beads. Diana

Speaking of Peeps...

I found Cocoacats! OMG.

-Kalera

Im going to bravely admit I do not now, nor have I ever liked peeps. I like to think I am leaving more for the rest of you, nature does abhor a vacumn. Diana

I only like Peeps when they are stale--the more chewy, the better.

I hate the plain ones, unless they're roasted. But cocoacats are different! Also, the fudge-filled pumpkins.

-Kalera

The plain ones? By that are you referring to Marshmallows? ;-) Those I can eat on rare occasion, burned over an open fire till black. It makes a perfect dessert to a meal that includes a potato roasted in the coals. It just adds more black flakes to your teeth. Diana

Hey, Peggy! This is an OMTP. The only difficulty I have is in LETTING them get stale.

I poke holes in the package and put them away in a closet, hoping that I can forget them until they're CHEWY!

Cheers, Sharon

No --- plain peeps. Unflavored. ~~ Sooz To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong. ~~Joseph Chilton Pearce

Tsk, tsk, you missed my ever so cleverly placed winky. Im not sure why, but marshmallowy treats of any kind hold no appeal to me. But, perhaps I could be persuaded to roast a plain peep over a campfire, in the name of science, of course. What would it look like, roasted to a char black? Does anyone ever press a Peep into service as an ingredient for S'mores or would that ruin the chocolate, the Peep, or the cracker? Diana
