161: Old crafty piece

Today when I was driving home I noticed the girl in the car next to me had a little beaded heart hanging from her rearview mirror. It reminded me that I still had a mat made from the same kind of plastic beads at home and how fun and easy they used to be to make (place beads on spiky plastic board, cover with alfoil, iron and voila). So I had a rummage around and now the mat has a proud place on my desk. I love the bright but soft fading colours caught in this photo and the strong contrast against the dark wood.
