It's a funny thing about designing; the first time I do something, it's like pulling teeth. No matter where I start, I always manage to find the hardest way to do it.Take this little bit of beading.
I'm quite sure that I have found the most difficult and stupid way to assemble it; I will definitely not do it that way again. Can we say tangled thread, bits sliding off and a general mess, not once, but several times? However, by the time I've tinkered with it a few dozen times, I am quite sure that I will magically hit on a simple way to assemble it that is completely unknown to me right now.
How do I know this?
Because it happens every time. The instructions I write up skip all the stupid bits; they make it look easy. But actually, I go through quite a lot of beading contortions before I figure out an easy way to do something. I always seem to start the hard way; I don't know why that is, but it is what it is.
Cue Tina Turner . . . only backwards. I start rough, but I finish nice and easy.

Boy I can't wait to see the easy way of putting that one together! It is cool to say the least
Lol - all the frustration aside I think i looks great! I'll be looking forward to the easier version!!!

Oh yeah....I relate. When you sit down and illustrate the bead paths look so much easier....I find myself saying "Duh" a lot when I'm illustrating :)
I've come up with a MUCH easier way, so this one will be allowed to continue!
