Colour
I love experimenting with colour and in a previous blog I mentioned that I was encouraged by my dad (God bless his soul) and a former teacher of mine to wear brighter colours. Since I listened, there was no turning back.
Whenever I shop for clothing (one of my weakest weaknesses lol), I often hesitate to buy prints but recently I saw a few pieces that I couldn't resist and I left the store smiling. All I've to do is wear them and not let them be a part of my collection of clothing I haven't worn yet.
Am I the only one guilty of doing that? I had a dress for two summers straight without wearing it and last year I wore it in the spring. A black dress that looked awesome with a dash of the right accessories.
Fall is approaching and of all the seasons it's my favourite. That mentioned, even Mother Nature encourages us to leap into a world of colour. A world that can change your mood from feeling sad and depressed to one of positivity and happiness.
If you feel the need to be inspired take a trip to your local mall, flip through the pages of your favourite magazine, go for a walk - inhale and exhale and just live. Enjoy!!!!!

In, out, up & about!!!
I've been in, out, up and about and I'm having a grand time. Where is the time going though? Summer you're slipping away - I just want the warm temperatures and all the fun clothing to stay. Well Mother Nature do your do!!!
In the midst of it all, many pieces have been made - I taught my Mom a few techniques and the odd time my son joined in and made a few pieces ( he's 5 going on...).

| My son made this for my mother and she wears it with pride. |
 |
| I taught my mother how to coil, so this bracelet was made by the two of us. |
 |
| As I mentioned on my FB page ( Rae's Beady Arts), I always wanted a pair of these so I made them in a flash. For $20 CDN plus shipping you to have own a pair. |
