There’s a zen vibe to Elizabeth Wood’s Instagram pictures. Each square photo focuses on her daily polymer bead close up.

Her new blog is equally unusual, with no pictures (whaaa?) and brief, insightful posts.

She explains her approach by saying that her work “…utilizes everyday materials like polymer, paint, thread, and base metals to remind us that beautiful lives are usually made up of ordinary things.”

This is all part of Elizabeth’s 365 Project that she started in January. Her goal is to get better at noticing the beautiful ordinary in life, to loosen up her work methods, and to explore bead making in a more in-depth way.

Take a deep breath, smile and enjoy your beautiful weekend.
