"But, really, why does anyone create? You feel a... a restlessness inside, a need to make something new, something no one has ever seen before. You want to add to the beauty and the richness of the world with a gift, an offering that is uniquely yours. It's an act of selfishness and generosity, all rolled into one."

Me and Claude

Because if I make enough water lilies that puts me in the same category with Monet, right? Right? Anybody?



The same pattern by Jane, this time in purple. I used Lizbeth 646 Purple Iris Light with white beads; 684 Leaf Green Medium once again, this time with lighter green beads; and 612 Golden Yellow Light, once again adding yellow beads to the stamen rings.

Where would we all be without Jane's patterns?

  1. Really beautiful lotus/lily. I think it would make a great brooch, too.

  2. Yes, in fact Jane designed it as a brooch. I just left off the pin.
