Below is a random gemstone assortment, in which I got some great deals on five years ago, and obviously went a little overboard.
Something similar can be said for a variety of sterling silver findings I bought in that same period. Many of each is still unrealized of their full potential.
I don’t want to hog Mother Earths semi-precious jewels. I’d much rather make earthy vibe accessories with them. Pass them on, in finished form, to new clients with appreciation of their expressive worth.
Going along with my current plan to have three glorious studio days every week, I also want to challenge myself to utilize many of these beads by years end. Gentle reminder there's only 3 months left - and we either make the time, or we loose it.
Maybe the last quarter of 2020 is the time to challenge yourself in some regard as well? Let me know what you come up with. Also, what craft supplies, or other indulgences, you’ve been hanging onto? Always curious.
As an update, in no way did I utilize many of my supplies after this post. Lets just say that life has a funny way of prioritizing certain things for you. These beads will be making their debut in more designs during our new year. May it be wonderful.
