Sunday's comin'

Some of my favorite beads to make are using striped cane for raised flowers, or simple "poked" flowers, or these...rosy and magnified with clear encasing. Soothing colors and pleasing pastels remind me of spring, my favorite time of year.  And flowers remind me of the Easter season in particular. 

The trees are in bloom!  And it was a tree that our Savior carried himself - to die on - yet He lives, that we might be a kind of first fruits among God's creatures...

a Tree of Life.
