Bead Peeps swap 'n' hop

Image
I am taking part in the BEAD PEEPS SWAP 'N' HOP.  We have been asked to tell a bit about ourselves and our jewellery habits.  I started jewellery making when I was a wee girl .  My first piece was a pop' n' snap plastic bead necklace. Does anyone remember those?  Then my next endeavour was to take apart and reconstruct a stretchy candy necklace.  (minus a few pieces lol)  Again, does anyone other than me remember those? Fast forward several decades and my foray back into jewellery making was due to  getting a job at a local bead and art supply store.  I decided that to sell the products, I had to learn what to do with them.   I truly worked for beads . well that's where my paycheque went anyway. So now I have a embarrassing supply of beads and findings and other good stuff.  That's where swaps are such a good thing . I get to share my stash.  I have a rather eclectic style.  ...
