Currently on my beading mat

Here is a picture of what I am currently working on. I am very happy with how it is progressing and I wanted to share/tease my audience.   ;-D

This item is a follow on from my Peacock necklace posted earlier last week and I am learning totally new things as I figure out how to create the design.

In the past I sit with an idea, get beads out and start to create. It is a round about way of doing things and involves much doing and undoing to get the best result.

I feel I am now at the point where it is time for me to sketch out my ideas and write notes. I have so many possible designs going through my head that I am forgetting some because I didn't write them down.

I think I have mentioned before, too many ideas, too little time and not enough pairs of hands.
