I've found that with more experience and experimentation, I've gradually learned to put the "free" in freeform. <br /><br />You're off to a terrific start, so I bet the same will be true for you.

I love your bracelet and the colors you chose I can not wait to see another one from you. I also found the more you do the less restraint you become.<br />ThereseTherese's Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11048140538791568162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806686507038523712.post-74319936378572633872013-02-25T15:22:03.104-05:002013-02-25T15:22:03.104-05:00What an interesting design!What an interesting design!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806686507038523712.post-39632014498041851572013-02-25T09:45:48.562-05:002013-02-25T09:45:48.562-05:00Oh, I so relate to all of your thoughts, Cynthia. ...Oh, I so relate to all of your thoughts, Cynthia. <br />Your bracelet came out beautiful, though!

We freeform beaders aren't -quite- that bad; as you discovered there is method to our madness. And quite a lot of zen to be found. <br /><br />So glad you decided to give it a go. And actually, I like the combination of areas of patchwork with more organic sections.
