My history

A great beadmaker once told me to keep a history of my beadmaking — keep one of every style that I’ve made to see my progress and journey — to see my art progress. While I do have beads from the first class I took, I will admit there is a period where I don't have certain styles that I made. But I try and keep a collection of my own history now. These are a few that I’ll share with you.
