If It Takes Forever




I've overcome my fear of glue and have been obsessed with the magnetic clasps.  Witness the results...
armfuls of multistrand bracelets,



wide macrame cuffs,
 and a funky, chunky creation wherein I finally used a batch of polymer clay beads that I acquired in a twentieth century swap.

I stumbled on the polymer beads when I cleaned my studio room in late June.  That cleaning binge opened my eyes to the realization that I am something of a arts and crafts hoarder and, as such, have to live to be a healthy two hundred and something just to use the beads, fibers, fabrics, clay, paper, etc that I've accumulated thus far.  That doesn't even take into account future acquisitions.  Really, with my inability to resist garage sale and auction finds...I just might have to live forever.
