So, it's been a long time a coming, that I have been striving to make an art into something that will help me stay at home with my boys and have fun. I am an artsy person, I can't help it. I have always done something. I sew, paint, draw, sing, dance (very badly) and decorate... But for the last 15 years or so I keep coming back to beading... I love all of it... I love to shop for the beads, talk to the venders and ask them questions (when they are agreeable) and I like organizing the beads, laying them out and unstinging them, I like to make wired color combinations and hammer my own head pins. I like to think of what others might like and I would wear. I like wire wrapping and stacking the beads... I just love beads... And I have alot of them, some I find hard to part with. BUT most of all I like to make people happy, and if my beads make them happy, they can have them, (if they treat them well and love them).
Anyway, I sold to shops (alot of driving) did private trunk shows, (alot of work!) and sold on the E@@@ monster. I've searched the internet for a place that crafters could sell their handmade pieces of mind and the big business hadn't taken over and to ruin everyones fun... And then I found Etsy! Etsy.com and set up shop. That is the creative shelter for me, weary traveler I was.
I am a lady and an addict... of beads.
