This is one last piece inspired by my trip to Kauai last winter. This time I left the sandy shores and took a journey into the lush tropical rain forests. I began my beaded journey by creating a tapestry of twisting tangled vines...
Next I created the pink flowers to remind me of this plant...
The pink beaded blossoms also remind me of the rambutans that I ate for breakfast everyday ....
There was an abundance of unfamiliar plants and flowers to discover on my tropical journey...
Each one of those beautiful flowers flourished in my beaded rain forest as well....
Sometimes the vines and branches would part to reveal the unexpected. A cascading waterfall, a giant fern or a humble spider weaving it's web. It was all part of the magic in the rain forest.
I will never forget the time that I spent in the rain forest, wandering and wondering about the beauty that surrounded me. I hope that I was able to convey in my bead work the awesome beauty, overwhelming excitement and pure wonder of the magical days that I spent in Kauai.

I didn't realize there were so many flowers and other colors in the rainforest besides green! And I'm wondering what a rhambutan tastes like cuz it sure is a pretty color!

You really captured the beauty of the Kauai rainforest. You are such a an accomplished person.
Yummy piece and lovely commentary. I love the tropical feel. I can almost feel the humidity rising from the floor of the rainforest.
