In short, it brings me peace. Creating new pieces calms me. The satisfaction of creating something someone loves is really special too. Bead shopping has to be my favorite though. I only use a brand called Miyuki for my seed beads, and for the rest of the beads I use stone and glass beads of various brands.

That uniq

For me, inspiration comes from everything. From the beads and materials I use, to the colors, shapes, and the different size beads, to nature, and the world around me.
