2″ x 2″, found objects
I’m sure it’s hard to figure out why this piece and the title are connected, but I’ll explain. This week my brain was on overload for a lot of reasons, and I didn’t have a chance to pause and think about a creative pendant design. But I did find this amazing metal insect, and I had to turn it into something for myself. I sat down for a moment to fill the background with seed beads and I was lost in the task, my mind blank for the first time in days. Yesterday I was watching a British cooking show and twice they called their tasks “mindful”. First when stirring batter and then while peeling garlic. When I learned about mindfulness it was always based on an intentional meditation, but I love the reminder that peeling garlic or placing beads can count just as much.
