The Bases are Loaded

Beaded Boston Trolley T University BU Go Red Sox Nation Pop art bead dropkick murphys tessie opening day train Mbta

Today, I really do have to ride the Green Line. Unfortunately, I ran out of the matte green seed beads I was using to bead the rear door of my trolley. I remember I got that particular colour at Beadworks on Newbury St. So, I'm headed to Arlington Station, but that's a long ways away! We're only at Boston University! And, the train is packed! Full of Red Sox fans!

Look at all of them!

I forgot! Today is Opening Day at Fenway!

Ah well... Soon, everyone will get off the train at Kenmore Sq. And, since I don't have a ticket, I'll have to watch the baseball game at the pub. But, first, I'm goin' bead shopping... :D

Go Sox!! :D

Your bead work is wonderful and so are your visuals. Love the way you set your projects against a backdrop. Very cool.

This is wonderful! I remember riding the trolley from Woodland Station to Park Street everyday when I attended school in Boston. What a great idea to bead it!

The 'T' is looking great...and for bead shopping, well, I never come home with just what I had intended to go pick up! ;-) I have never been to Boston, but would love to visit someday! A Red Sox game at Fenway Park would be very cool! Happy shopping! Bead on LB!!!

This is looking so great. Thanks for sharing -- and for all those who are riding along -- enjoy your ride.

Phenomenal!

I already had respect for those who did this sort of craft, but, you seem intent on bringing it into the arena of art.
And succeeding, at that!

Absolutely beautiful!

All’s OK so long as the MTA didn’t make a fare increase and you couldn’t get off!
