I have been designing beaded jewelry for a little over a year. I started on a small scale, with 2 kits. Those 2 kits gave me so much satisfaction, that I thought I would try it on my own to see what it would be like. The first few pieces were very amatuerish, but as I have grown I have found that I want to venture out, into designing my own beads. At this point, I am trying polymer clay designed beads. I'm still at that very first step, but I am looking again, at color combinations and will be attemping more. I have found that there is so much out there to do, my fellow artisans have challenged me and encouraged me, that I don't think there would be any way to not challenge myself to further heights in the artistic world.; Under construction Tascha
