New Obsession

Part of the fun of being retired is trying new activities and hobbies.  Today I took a beading class here in Palm Creek RV Resort.  What fun!!
We chose our primary beads, the focal bead, and the accent/spacer beads.  In my case, the majority of the beads were fresh water pearls with some amber colored square beads and round antiqued looking metal beads.  The focal bead is a stone with some swirly stuff and a little color in it.
I really loved seeing how it all came together and I can't wait to research more and maybe go to Tucson to the annual gem show.
Uh oh - going to have to add beading to my list of hobbies!!
