It's nice to both see pictures, and read a bit about how the bead virus works. Bit more on me...... I am having my 33rd birthday this week, and having a girl's only party: beads and chocolate. The first beads that really caught my eye were a strand of red whitehearts that was given to me by an Ethiopian woman in Lalibela. I lost them, which I strongly regret. It took me about five years before I got really interested in beads. (and bought some more whitehearts) Two pictures: The first one shows me being excited (not my most flattering look) while opening boxes from my first shipment of beads from China. The second shows the result of one of the other things I do: sculpting. I just quit my well paying consulting job for a little less paying job working as a lobbyist for the interests of handicapped and chronically ill children. Even with a recession, guess you still have to follow your heart. My partner and I have been together for 9 years, but not living together. He is working in New York as a photographer for six months. I will see him for the first time in more than 4 months in Tucson. (and taking him home with me afterwards) He has no interest in beads. So if you see a couple looking like they really missed each other, and one just pretending to care about the beads, that's us! All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
