It's a Marshmallow World...

...that has hardened and been converted to gears! Okay, not quite, but here is a piece I call Snowpunk, meshing gears, snowflakes, kumihimo, and this really great bead mix I found at Artful Bead in Carrollton.


No snow yet here in North Texas, and seeing Ontario and Kansas City on the news, I'm surprisingly OK with that. Besides, I grew up in the high desert of the Denver metro area, and March was our big snow month. One year, Mom wished for a white Christmas. It's known as The Blizzard of '84 to the natives. Worst part - a household shortage of toilet paper! 


Here's a closeup of the gears - I like them a lot and owe Christi Friesen (Hi from the other Christy!) for showing me the coolness available in headpins and stuff you can stack on little bitty gears!
