Put Down the Telescope and Walk Away...

I kept trying to think how I was going to make a base for the telescope last night and this morning. The best thing to do is just forget about it for a while and come at it from a different angle...

So while I was thinking, I got out the beads.  That is always a good way to think.  I am getting started on a collection of Chen Luu style bracelets.  Those are the ones with leather on both sides and beads strung between.  They are meant to be stacked together on your wrist. 
The bottom one in this photo and the middle one in the photo above are the same bracelet. 

I think that I am going to make it over with a different color of thread.  I don't like the black and I don't like the button.

The top one in this photo is one I did a few years ago.  I would like to make more, but I have to find the pattern.  I think it's in one of the books that April brought back from Russia... We shall see...

Meanwhile, there are other things I can do whilst trying to think where the pattern is...

Yes.  The workroom is starting to look out of sorts... Unsorted... OK.  Just plain messy.  For that matter, so is my bedroom closet...

I think that I will just do a lot of thinking and cleaning for the rest of the day.  The answer for the support of the telescope will come sooner or later.  So, while I wait for it.  I may as well do something constructive...

See you tomorrow.

Out of curiosity I googled steampunk telescope - I was surprised how many there were:

Maybe something will spark an idea.

Jenny, that was the first place I looked! I am a big fan of looking there for anything.
