Lori challenged us to use our own hoarded stash and make as many pieces as we like...
I confess, I am a "bead hoarders"..... beads are my treasure... :D
I often bought beads although I had no idea what would ever do with it because I'm afraid if I can't have it anymore or because it too special... :)
Now my treasure are overload... I spend a lot of money to buy beads but have a little creativity... ups... :)
I am ashamed to show how much my treasure that I just save up for a long time ... :D
I realized that I'm lack creativity... but I didn't stop buying beads... ^_^
I have a disease called bead addiction... *LOL
Most of my collections are Indonesia traditional glass beads from Gudo - Jombang...
But I also love gemstone and ceramic...
Now I collect crochet thread too... I need new cabinet... :D
This is just a little beads of treasures that I picked of my hoarded stash...
...krobo beads & gypsum carved beads from Ghana... |
I got these beads from my lovely friend who lives in Accra - Ghana now...
And these lampwork beads set below are from "Manik Jawa"...
I got these last month because I'm the first winner of challenge named BOM! (Beads of Mystery)...
And here are what I made with them...
...necklace... |
