An Oblique Strategy for Bead Club
I have my first Bead Club meeting tonight. It's at The Bead Hold, which is the cool new bead shop in Pt Chev that I've been raving about. I'm not quite sure what to expect.

Anyway, inspiration has been lacking, so I consulted Eno's Oblique Strategies which said Use your own ideas. Not overly helpful! So I decided to do something contrasty. This is what I have so far:
