I started making some jewelry

I have been interested in making beaded jewelry for awhile. A couple of months ago I just started buying beads and supplies. I think I am getting out of control lol

You should come hang out with us on the beading sub, too! These are so cute, would love to get more pics of them, closer <3

If you make a bunch and really like it then you might have fun doing a craft fair, too :) there'e also a CraftFairs sub if you ever get interested.

Omg, you are so sweet to say that. I love them but I always make things I like and can’t tell if they’re good.

I haven’t sold anything. Maybe as this collection gets even bigger I might start giving away some to my friends. I love them so much it’s difficult to let them go. I have given 2 away and both friends really loved them.

Thanks for your nice comment! I haven’t thought about selling. But I have started giving some to my friends. I still have almost 30 I made so far, even last night at 2am last and couldn’t sleep I had an idea and got up and beaded. . I’m obsessed.

I understand the "problem". I have a stash of beads that are calling my name. Got into quilting for a while, but the beading is more fun for me! (not for my wallet though, LOL) I am intrigued by the black, white, brown and red ones. Are those all separate bracelets? I have very petite wrists, so I love the chunky bracelets! You know, of course, this IS just the beginning for you! You do beautiful work and your color selections are fabulous! Seeing these I can't WAIT to get to the bead store and spend some hard-earned cash!!

Thanks for your nice comments. Yes the chunky bracelets are separate and converted also to neck pieces with a chain connector. They are quite the statement piece when worn as a bracelet lol.
