It was blossom season in Beijing and Shanghai.....
Beauty is not just in beads ;-)

We are now in Japan, where I bought a lot (a lot...) of Japanese Miyuki seed beads.
When I travel, I like to do a lot of beadwork. I mostly use 15/0 (aka tiny) beads, and it's great for on trains, planes and boats. I'll show some results when I get back.
