OK, easy enough - just draw a string of beads on a tile and fill the beads with different tangles. Before I could get to it another idea popped up. Have no idea why or where it came from and not the typical project I would attempt but for some reason I decided to go with it and see what might appear. The thought - to create a tile with real beads on it. Going through the few beads I still have around - just one of many a stash of abandoned craft endeavors - I didn't find any beads that inspired me or would be easy to attach to a paper tile. OK, time for plan B - had no idea what that might be. Again no real thought process (that would be too easy!) the idea of making paper beads floated in. Decided to go for it. Drew a few tangles on lightweight paper, added a bit of color, rolled them, strung them with purple thread and added them to the tile.
