Shades of Control
Well. I got the urge to revisit one of my old FFVII SOLDIER logo designs... and then decided I also really wanted to tack on a couple of very subtle Shinra logos. They might actually have turned out a little too subtle unless you know what you're looking at, but that's also kind of perfect.
Because I am me, a few new things were tried on the "floating steps", and I did get the hang of something that's technically a little easier on both my fingers and the beads themselves... but it left a couple of slightly loose-looking beads framing the negative space and it annoys me. Greatly. Not that it affects anything but me personally, but still. Now I know how to avoid that for next time, anyway.
Currently available.

Snow Melt
Comprised of some leftover wire from another project, a bunch of beads I've been wanting to use together, and a whole lot of wishful thinking when it comes to when winter "actually ends" in New England. I just really wanted to do something simple and light and different, and I did actually enjoy this project even if getting back to the finishing fiddly bits took... about a month-ish.
Currently available to buy.
Progress and Solidarity
I've had this pattern worked out on my computer for ages, along with several smaller versions. But did I try the easier, faster versions first? Of course I did not. How silly.
Something something politics, I don't know, I just want everyone to have a chance at acceptance and survival and dazzlingly sparkly objects declaring such, how dare I.

Winter Nights
I keep trying not to quote "Zooropa" lyrics, but that's exactly what this feels like to me. I'm deeply happy with the result but this is not a project that I saw coming. Whoops? Very sparkly whoops?
The blue really hits you first, that luscious indigo/cobalt/color of dark sky not-quite-black. And then then the little purples and greens are definitely there when you start inspecting it. Which is, basically, impossible to show in 10 pictures, let alone 20, but I tried. Lighting matters, obviously. I had all these beads and I wanted to use them. So I did. Exciting stuff, this. It was just really nice to have no plans and come out of a two day project which should probably not have been a two day project *cough* with... well, sparkly.

Still Breathing
Well. ...It's personal. And something I wanted to make for me before I delved into a bunch of other projects.
Plus I was trying something a little different with the end pieces there. Success! More of this style might pop up in the near-ish future.
Better Than Chikin
It was absolutely time that I finally got around to doing this. I've had the idea for a couple of years, but... 2020, man. I had to get it done by the end. Feel free to check out the legitimate cost breakdown in the Etsy listing I just figured out and don't know how to feel about, too.
