This afternoon, I tried to design and string a necklace on my commute home. I take commuter train from my job to home. It's about 2 hours on the train - perfect to do something constructive and fun. I recently bought one of those 'travel' bead trays.
Eager to see if I can successfully bead without spilling the beads onto the floor, I started to design. I kept imagining my fellow commuters hitting a loose bead on the floor and going flying while cursing me and giving me dirty looks. Luckily, all of the beads stayed on the tray, but at times I felt like an acrobat balancing the tray, keeping the beads from sliding as the train hit ruts in the track. It is definitely not a smooth ride!
Needless to say the piece is done and all I have to do is finish which I will do at home. Not bad for my first try. I'll post a picture of my commuter-proven necklace this weekend.
