I suppose I am a spatial-visual , kinesthetic learner.On a less than scientific level ,I like to see and touch things !
I have always been compelled to make things inspired by everything I see and touch.
For some reason (I'm probably better off not knowing why),
I like to make things that are small.
I Especially like jewelry and beads . I started long ago with macaroni and yarn.Then I moved on to every medium available .
I made beads out of everything I could !
When I met polymer clay ,magic happened ! Instant friendship !!!
Whatever my mood or desire clay adapts. It's very forgiving !
My perfect companion ! From the moment we met, we spent every spare moment together .
In today's lingo, polymer became my BFF .
I began to think of it more and more often . I made excuses to spend more time making clay beads.
It seemed I was always longing to make the next clay creation ! Everything around me seemed to inspire a Polymer Bead.
I even dreamed about clay Beads !!!
My innocent friendship had become my Passion !
I made beads ,beads and more beads!
I LOVE making beads!!!
I started selling beads so I'd have a reason to make more !
I can't stop creating beads,talking about beads , looking at beads, reading about beads!
I'm Extremely PASSIONATE about beads!!!
Is that a bad thing?
When Passion grabs you, should you try to resist ?
I say NO WAY !
Making my beads a form of meditation for me .
Daily stress goes out of my mind when my bead muse visits.
Beads have been a part of human culture since ancient times.
As I learn more about beads , I learn more about history, geography and geology !
But, the very best gifts I've gained are the friendships.
Because of my bead passion , I have met bead lovers from all over the world !
Acquaintances begun because of beads, blossomed into friendships.
My passion has Expanded my world
and
it has also made the world seem to be a much Smaller friendlier place !
When my play became my Passion , my life was enriched in every way imaginable .
I reached out for a hand that held a bead and found much more....
Bead Happy , m.e :)
