I fell in love with beads when I still was in a primary school, Back then I already had lots of ideas, however the variety and quality of materials was poor. I started with metal wire (I had to find old phone cables, remove the soft outer layer and save the wire inside for my projects), fishing line and surgical thread (thanks to my father who is a surgeon and could get me a roll or two once in a while).
Things are of course different now, I work with high quality beads and jewellery making accessories. I also like to include gemstones or decorative elements and I always include a short description of the properties of those particular gemstones for those of you who is interested in this topic.
