Category: Beadwork

I have been beading for over fifteen years and my beadwork is bound up with my health. You will know this story if you have followed my blog before.

Where My Beadwork Began

I started beading after becoming seriously ill and I have found the beadwork consistently therapeutic. Beading has also given me a creative outlet and I think this is a healthy thing for anyone. I have come to know a lot of other beaders and I realise that many of us are suffering from difficult health conditions.

So, although I wanted to write mostly about my beading adventures, I have also talked more personally. I think we can all support each other. Sometimes it is comforting just to know that you’re not the only one who is struggling. So, I’ve shared some of my struggles and doubts on here. Since I believe it’s important to speak out, I thought I had better start by setting an example!

I hope you enjoy reading about my general beading adventures in this part of the blog.
