I love creating. I really do.
But sometimes, beadwork feels like a love-hate relationship.
I love the process, the colors, the tiny details, and the feeling of making something with my own hands. But trying to keep up with orders, markets, and demand can sometimes suck the joy right out of it.
There are days I want to bead all day, and days I don’t want to pick up a needle at all.
I’m learning that staying true to myself as an artist means finding a balance between what my business wants from me and what I need as a creator.
I love this… but, sometimes it’s a battle.
AFN prep is real!
Who else feels this way from time to time???🙋🏽♀️
