The Love of Art Beads

Hello everyone and Happy April.


At the moment, this is feeling very surreal. Maybe it was meant to be, for whatever reason. 


I wrote a very long post. About my love of Art Beads. How I started making jewelry. My Art Bead Collecting, my passion for them as an art form, and a bunch of other stuff. 


Right now it's about 11:00 p.m. and I've had a really long day. My wrist is aching and my eyes are trying to close. Not complaining just setting the stage. :) I came back to my post to add the links for the earrings I just listed. I must have hit a Ctrl+A key combination and hit a key or the space bar and my whole post disappeared. I quick tried to Undo and I see that the Auto Save feature is saving it. The Undo did not work and it saved a completely blank page. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO. PLEASE NO. I tried to Undo yet again and it was hopeless. I looked around for somewhere there might be a backup but nada. 


There were six different photos in it, links to four or five different shops, links for the photos, all of which take a fair amount of time to complete, along with what probably amounted to three pages of blog. 


So rather than straining your eyes and maybe scratching your brain to read my lengthy narrative, this is it! Three new pairs of earrings made with Artisan beads by Petra Carpreau of ScorchedEarthOnEtsy and accompanying wheel beads by Jana Bliznakova of HappyFishThings. 


I am really very sorry but I just can't pull it together long enough to try to re-write it. 


Here are my earrings for today. With love and great big kudos to Petra Carpreau of ScorchedEarthOnEtsy.

    1. Thanks so much Nathalie! Most of the time when writing long messsges I copy them as I go along. Never occurred to me to do that here. lol Thank you for taking the time to give feedback. I really appreciate it. I know I've been absent a lot lately but I just can't keep up on the phone. Keep saying soon! Soon! 😊Thx again. Hope all is well.
