Believe Me…

Being an artist is not “all fun and games”, especially for one who designs beadwoven creations and writes tutorials, both of which require an enormous amount of time.  Assembling beading kits is another task that devours hours that might otherwise be spent creating art.  The process entails weighing and/or counting numerous colors and quantities of beads, printing labels and attaching them to the individual packettes that will hold the beads, making kit envelopes and printing the tutorials included with each kit.  I discovered that my stock of assembled kits had dwindled significantly over the holidays and was in dire need of replenishment.   I’ve spent the past two weeks feeling much like a one-person assembly line, but that and much more is all part of the business of art!  I have scheduled a brief and much needed respite in early March during which time I look forward to engaging in rest and relaxation, “smelling the roses” and maybe I’ll even do a bit of beading just for fun!
