B for Beads
While my kids take lessons at the Joslyn Art Museum,
I often find myself wandering around the galleries.
Pictures are not allowed in some exhibits,
but in the exhibit where this pair of beaded converse shoes
were on display, pictures were allowed.
I thought they were very unique and just had to snap a pic for my daughter
(Proud owner of 4 pairs of chucks).
These Converse were beaded by renown bead work artist Terri Greeves.
All Nighter
Skill
Patience
Love of beads
Hours pass
Fingers ache
Night comes
Pushing bodies
past their limit
aching backs
bend over
Fingers pricked
It does not hurt,
not enough
to stop.
Clean it up,
ignore the pain,
back to work.
Dawn breaks
Exhausted
Time realized
Where did the hours go?
Inspiration does not wait
The time is right
Working
Working
Through the night.
