To Snack Or Not To Snack, That Is The Question...






Sometimes a girl just needs to eat cake!

Do you find yourself reaching for the snacks as you're beading?

Or do you find that the beading keeps your hands and mind 
busy enough to forget about the nibbles? 

I know this hobby certainly shrinks my wallet, 
can it start working on the waistline too please!??

Inspire Me - Alien

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/26/Alien_vs._Predator_%282004%29_-_Alien.jpg



This 'Inspire Me' post is taking a little bit of a dark turn. 

With Halloween approaching fast 
I wanted to use something scary to inspire this bead selection. 

The shops are full of the usual pumpkins, ghoules and ghosts 
but my mind was drawn back to something that really scared me.

The 1979 film Alien. 

Now that really is the stuff of nigthmares, 
as I am sure those of you that have watched this film will agree!

Here is my selection of Alien inspired beads:






Magical Hematite Rondel Bead String






Volcanic Lava Rondel Beads - Unusual !



Hematite Chip Strand - 34 Inch Strand



Lava and Hematite rondels available from Mr Bead.
Hematite chip strand from Spoilt Rotten Beads.


And of course no project inspired by the film Alien
would be complete without Jones the cat!

From The Great Big Bead Shop
Jones?, ...Jones?.......Jonesey?...........

Bead Radar - Swarovski Crystal Memory Wire Bracelet Kit

This gorgeous Swarovski Crystal and Miyuki drop bead bracelet kit
is available from The Bead Shop Manchester.
At  £8.50 it would make a great Christmas prezzie for a beady friend,
or even one for yourself!
 (Watch out when using memory wire as it's very, very tough to bend.
  
A trip to the other half's toolbox for a more substantial 
pair of round nose pliers may be in order!)
