I should be packing...

But of course my suitcase is still empty.
I'm putting some finishing touches on collection pieces before heading out for three weeks. I really need this break from working...a chance to step away and come back refreshed.
Some more in progress work:

Beginning of my braided neck piece. (Braided bulky cashmere & wool yarn.)

Ugandan paper bead embellished collar

Hand beaded embellishment...1 down, 5 more to go.

I don't know if I'll have internet access while I'm in Africa, but I hope to keep you all updated as much as possible. Can't wait to share this next experience with each of you.
Love!
