Blackbird dagger is designed to push the boundaries of beads, to utilize them in various ways and still be able to produce something that is still aesthetically pleasing and functional.  Working with beads is a slow process that requires attention and being present.  While some may find this tedious, but designer Nancy Ceideburg finds it to be meditative and artistically fulfilling.
