Beading? Yay or Nay??

So, thanks to my cousin, who makes THE lovliest bracelets, etc, I had to try it out for myself! A good excuse to give it a try and get started was making them as Christmas gifts. I must admit, though, I have made a few for myself! I stuck with the recommended Swarovski crystals, and sterling silver components. I must say, for my first tries, they came out pretty good! This definately won't replace my passion for all things paper related, but they are fun to make, and make great gifts! Between my huge hands/fingers, and my long nails, I think it probably takes me twice as long to complete a bracelet as it should!
