New hobby sprung from an old hobby

It's been a long time since I posted anything. Sorry! I haven't been taking any pictures because my camera is stupid! Most of the pictures come out blurry or have terrible flash lighting. Someday when I get a nice new one I will take lots of pictures and post every week! I feel strongly about documenting and so I will start saving money for a new camera!

One thing I'll share with you that I've been up to lately is making jewelry. Back in junior high and a little in high school I made necklaces and bracelets. I proudly strutted my craftsmanship around school always showing off the bundle of choker length necklaces around my neck! It was very trendy to wear lots at a time (and I was totally hip!) These necklaces and bracelets were strictly small beads. I accumulated hundreds of these small beads and carried them with me throughout the years. They've been tucked away for so long because that cool fad that I once owned is totally out now! It's all about bulk, big and bulky. Which is cool actually, I love it! So a couple months ago I pulled out the old bead organizer storage dilly and dived back into my past. I discussed the makings of with fellow beaders and began incorporating some of the little stuff with the big stuff. I started adding chains to the mix and even feathers! I have just indulged and it's been soooo much fun! Of coarse some of the stuff I've made I really like and others I brake down and start over with. It's teaching me patience for one thing. It's hard not to spend all your money on beads too because shoot they can be expensive! Now all I have to do is be able to part with some of it and put it up for sale. So, I thought it would be a good idea to put up some pictures and show ya'll! Enjoy!

first off, feather earrings...that's right!




I have lots more but like I said, my camera is crap so I will put up more pictures at another time
