Orange and Green

This necklace was inspired by the main bead type that has orange and green swirls. I love to find these multi colored beads and look for other beads that can bring that out.

I think what I enjoy about the process is the experimenting. On my design board I will try out multiple combinations. Most of the time I am limited by the number of each bead I have. But it challenges me and gives me something to strive for.

When I am satisfied on the board and start stringing I sometimes begin to doubt. I don't let myself stop though. I say to myself that I will finish it. I can always take it apart after I have had time to figure it out. I am usually satisfied and happy I at least created something.

It is always more stressful making something as a gift. But even the ones for myself can be stressful after the creative process is over. During the making of I am just focused and having fun.
