I found this incredible bead shop about 30 minutes from me, where the owner stands by the door and hands out lottery tickets to everyone who enters. He always asks us to share the winnings if we win something!
It's a warehouse with every kind of bead and finding imaginable and just being there made me want to make things. I found myself irresistibly drawn to these strings of crystals and pearls and found these silver findings to go with them. I made this display out of a damaged painting in a frame from Goodwill and these are available at my neighborhood vintage shop behind the counter for purchase!
