🌟The craziest part of the beading process for me:

🧮 the actual beading part takes a fraction of the time it costs to source, purchase and receive the PERFECT materials for a project. I always have something that will ‘work’, but I scour the internet for the PERFECT pieces. (Doesn’t matter the country). Building my patience 🧘🏽‍♀️

I love making my art, but there’s so much more to it than I originally realized a couple years ago. 🤔

One of my favorite things is curating bag charms + beadwork
🐌🦋🌸💟🌿

-I got in a hurry and didn’t get the best pictures of this bag charm I made (only because the “seam” is visible) but beading teaches patience and contentment with imperfection 🫠
I wish you could really see the stones gleam and sparkle ✨
