All these pretty accessories and clothes felt so foreign to what I knew. The ads were my favorite. These are actual real things being sold, I would think to myself. The jewelry campaigns were especially mind-boggling.
The biggest rock I had ever tried on was a ruby Ring Pop! During my four years in the city, I made obsessive visits to Holt Renfrew, the Canadian equivalent to Bergdorf or Saks. I remember splurging on my first pair of studded Prada sneakers there heavily discounted, of course and feeling that initial contact high. Chakra bracelets are great for unblocking all of your chakras and absorbing the energies of multiple healing crystals!

Be Inspired , Uncategorized. September 25, Jewelry Making is Good for Your Soul Jewelry making is not just a fun and creative hobby, it can also be quite therapeutic for people of all ages. Here are 5 great reasons why you should considering getting into or back into beading and making jewelry. Beading encourages children, adults, and seniors to use their fine motor skills and work on their hand-eye coordination.
Authors Sara Oehler and Kristen Fagan wrote this book to show how these new and innovative beads can be used to create jewelry using Soft Flex beading wire rather than thread or cord. The projects are easy to intermediate, but they are unique enough to capture the interest of even the most advanced beader. Most projects can be completed in one sitting. I love the beading community and my Soft Flex family. Over the years, I have made a long list of wonderful and talented friends who live around the world.
Many of these people are inspiring and motivate me to work hard and create freely. Now with facebook and instagram, I can keep up with all of them even though I see them less and less in person. I have worked with some of my co-workers for 15 years. Many of them definitely feel more like family than just co-workers.
I am amazed by how supportive all of the members are of each other as they share their designs using Soft Flex beading wire, kits, live sale beads and more. If you have joined yet, you should definitely check it out.
I find so much inspiration there on a daily basis. Beads have been around for at least 40, years and I feel connected to history and the entire world when I bead. Robert Lieu noted in The History of Beads , "Beads were probably the first durable ornaments humans possessed, and the intimate relationship they had to their owners is reflected in the fact that they are among the most common items unearthed from ancient graves.
I am continuing a tradition that dates back not just thousands of years but tens of thousands of years. I love that I am adding my little perspective to that long history. I also feel like beading interconnects us worldwide. We have customers all over the world. It is so much fun to see our wire ship out far and wide and know that even though the recipient may not speak the same language as us, they are using the wire to create just like any one of us. We used to do a show in Tucson that was in a big tent.
This allows children to further develop other important skills, such as handwriting, as they strengthen their visual-motor coordination.
These activities can also encourage children to practice more precise manipulation of their paintbrush or pencil so they can more effectively write or draw, further developing their fine motor control skills. Learning to use arts and crafts tools like paintbrushes, crayons, beads, and modeling clay encourages children to practice their fine motor skills, allowing them to manipulate objects with more precision. This aids them in developing their bilateral coordination, manual dexterity, and muscle strength, all of which are important for increasing their independence and self-esteem.
By planning slightly more complex projects, such as deciding upon patterns and colors for beaded jewelry, children can also develop their problem-solving and decision-making skills. Encouraging children to talk about these projects also benefits them in building their vocabulary and developing their communication skills. Many arts and crafts projects can be put together with little effort or expense although a lengthy clean-up process is perhaps to be expected and are great group activities for children.
