Torque Story: Gone fishin'

Gone fishin'

I'm away on vacation (no, not really fishing, and not to Bead & Button, like everyone else in the beading stratosphere--I'm visiting relatives out West with my daughter), so there's no I Might Make That! Monday today.

I'll resume next week. Enjoy your Memorial Day and happy start of summer, everyone!

Hope you're having a great time. Now that we're Californians, we want everyone to come here. Loving it all! A trip with the daughter sounds so great!

Why 'Torque Story'?

What does the name of my blog mean? I'm no physicist, but my understanding of "torque" is that it is force that causes a thing to rotate. Many of my designs--from my peyote-stitched and Russian spiral necklaces to my intricately braided kumihimo cords--feature spirals created by torque.

The spirals and twisty-bumpy beading and braiding techniques hold special resonance for me because they symbolize the journey we all take that makes us who we are. We set out on straight paths but take various twists and turns as life gets in the way. This makes us far more interesting people, and makes for far more interesting jewelry.
