This is a story of bead baking… You must be thinking – what does Rothko have to do with bead baking?
Well, here it goes…
Hung and I were making some suncatchers and garden decorations from plastic beads on my deck to brighten our spirits dampened by the pandemic situation. A girlish play turning into little more…
