I have been thinking about this for a long time. On social media, there are many video posts with artists talking about their feelings, their trials and tribulations. Also posts on stringing beads, how to wire wrap, soldering, the videos are endless.

That isn’t me. Yes, I have feelings, trials, and tribulations. I have anxiety of why my art isn’t selling. I just don’t put it out there.
When I bead, you could watch me create, but really, I design on the fly. Five beads go on, 3 come off, another bunch goes on, etc. The beads talk to me, they tell me how they want to play with each other. The piece might sit for a week waiting for the right charm. It isn’t just string beads and it is a necklace!
Frankly, I am much better in person. I will speak about making jewelry, about my thoughts on life, or I will just tell you a story. Preferably with coffee or a whisky in hand!
So that is why I post finished jewelry, pictures of my chickens, signs I find funny, my dirty or clean truck, just images I like but no videos of me talking or …
Thanks for listening.
