The Adventures of the Fiber Beads

Friday, August 29, 2008

Beads come from the masterful hands of Ebrown

The day started out normal enough, but then there came a clamor at the door. “We’re here, we’re here!” the beads were shouting, so I had to drop what I was doing and go to shush them. Apparently they were not happy at all at being shut up in a bubble mailer and poly bags, so I got them out of there right away to take them to their bead condo.

They settled in at first, but it turns out that these beads aren’t too happy about being mixed together. Plus the bigger blue ones totally decided to claim their superiority over the smaller multicolored beads. “You aren’t proper beads!” Alpha bead blue said to the smaller pink fiber bead that was cowering underneath him. “You’re all fuzzy and you can’t even decide what colors you want to be! Why do I have to share a condo with these ones????” His compatriots agreed, working their way up to the top of the pile. Of course, all this fiber bead civil war ended when they saw their neighbors.

Alpha Blue almost shook out of his fiber. “Who do THEY think they are???” He started trying to pound the divider down, but to no avail. That’s when he decided to put the ‘lesser fibers’, as he thought of them, to work.

He jumps up on top of it’s head, almost squishing the poor thing. His fellow big blue beads cheered him on as he peered over the top. “Well what do we have here…czech glass? PFTH. Dirty foreign beads, I’ll have you know that we rule this bead condo complex now.” They stared impassively up at him, their amethyst sheen staring him down better than the most patient cat. He grumbled for a moment, but that’s when the little fibers struck.

The little pink one just vaulted up Alpha Blue’s back, vaulting over into the bead condo diagonal from his former fiber roommate. As he stretched out, the rest of his shorty beads followed….and then spent their time in the condo keeping the big blues up all night with their crazy music, and bossing around the lampwork they landed in.
