Here are some new beads that I have added to my website. I decided it was time to expand my line a bit. So some nice fall editions have joined the humblebeads family.
Cuff beads in Gold/Bronze and Rose.
Making and selling beads is my day job. It's what brings home the bacon. It's something I can work a few hours every day and still have time for illustrating. I work during the week while the girls are in school and sometimes in the evening. I do beads as the first thing in the morning, just like a regular job.
Garnet Disk Beads.
I have some goals as a bead artist. Like writing a polymer clay bead-making book. But would ultimately love to illustrate full-time and do the beads as a hobby. Someday. Until then, I'm happy to work at home making beautiful things and helping jewelry-makers add a little art to their designs.
New Spacer beads, shown here in blue, teal and purple.
You could easily create that non-fiction bead book. Well, you easily have the talent...I'm not saying it wouldn't be work. I can see it now and it's a beaut! Just pull a couple of books off the shelf that are related to other how to's and crafts- See easy peasy.
