Inspired by Cleaning? Really?

Five Wrap inspired by a Mother of Pearl+ silver ring.

It's not a typo.

And it's not 'Inspired Cleaning', that SELDOM happens in MY house!
I was inspired BY cleaning this morning.

Wish I had thought to take 'before' and 'after' pictures of my bead work bench this morning. I work with beads. Hundreds and I guess it's not an exaggeration to say, thousands of them. I am OCD enough that every once in a while I'll take the time to put EVERY SINGLE bead away where it belongs, with all the other beads just like it. YIKES!!

There is a payoff. I re-discovered all sorts of glorious beads I couldn't see underneath all the clutter. I shopped very carefully for each and every bead in my endlessly morphing collection. I can see all sorts of new, dynamic, exciting possibilities for new bracelets. This afternoon, after I finish some of my other cleaning chores, I'll be out on my lovely patio (see my previous post) making new bracelets.
