When I was in high school, a bead store opened up in the local mall and a friend and I would go after school to see what we could make next. I still have a couple of those pieces. My favorite is a necklace made out of wood beads in bright colors. We would make earrings, pendents, and bracelets.
Why 'Potatoes In Pink'? Over these past fews years, I stop and look at the bead section every time I enter a Michael's or JoAnn Fabrics store. I also browse my favorite bead website, Fire Mountain Gems. One of the things I learned, is that pearls come in different shapes and sizes. There are button, rice and 'potato' shaped pearls. Some of my favorite beads are crystals and pearls. I have always loved pearls. They come in so many colors! My favorite color of pearl is 'pink'. Well, pink is my all time favorite color.
This is how I came up with 'Potatoes in Pink'. I will use pearls in many pieces I make. I will also frequently use crystals. My family will tell you that crystal is also a favorite of mine. When I lived in Germany, I obtained many crystal pieces. I really like the Swarovski silver crystal. It is beautiful as the light catches it and sparkles. You could say that I love things that sparkle!
Please be patient as I develop and grow in my skills. Be sure to check back in the future!
