You will be surprised just how much we all have in common..🤔]]>Thu, 04 Oct 2018 03:19:28 GMThttp://creationsbytys.com/journal/bead-therapyOver the years I have discovered that making handcrafted jewelry has been very therapeutic for me. I have come in contact with many other beaders and found out I am not alone! I discovered beading over 15 years ago while watching the famous Carol Duval show. At the time I was going through a very difficult time in my life, I was dealing with MANY medical issues. Instead of sinking further into depression I began attempting small craft projects which lead to me pulling my old sewing machine out, which my parents purchased for me WAY back in Jr. high school, and I started making handcrafted purses from scrap upholstery fabric  that had been given to me  by a local upholstery shop. I then started to embellish the fabric with BEADS! it wasn't long before I started experimenting with making jewelry, I soon noticed that I wasn't focusing on the excruciating pain my body was in, now it didn't take the pain away, but it helped me to not dwell on it. I was creating beauty from my pain! I began to notice that the depression became less and less I felt like I had PURPOSE again!! My story is a very LONG story..LOL I'm happy to say that I am STILL creating BEAUTY FROM MY ASHES! please feel free to share your story. I hope this snidbit of mine has helped someone.
Sincerely, Just a bead-a-holic and proud of it!!
