Beaded Bags - Are They Appreciated?


I love to create small to medium bags to hang around the neck or worn as a shoulder bag. Of course the purpose of making these is to combine the bag with BEADS!

Over the years I have sold bags of leather and beads, but there doesn't seem a great demand.


I have been making felted bags to bead on but they just don't create that special excitement I personally feel creating with leather and beading.

Oh here we go again with that age old quandary do we create for the joy or do we create what we think will sell? Hate that. For the most part I create for the joy and hope to connect with the people out who are drawn to my soul expressed through my art.

It's true, I do create many things that are express little bits and pieces of who I really am and are kind of fun and safe.

Creators out there in blog land, do you know what I am attempting to express?

From the Very Start

Hi, Welcome. Glad you stopped by. "From the very start," I want you to know I love creativity wherever I discover it. My passions for now are fiber art and beading art. Actually any kind of creativity, I find exciting, whether it is the process in something I am creating or enjoying those incredible creations of others.

There are so many fantastic blogs out in blog land. I like those with information and examples of creativity - how tos , pictures and links to things I have never heard about. It make sense I would blog about those interests and passions of mine. So to start with, my focus is on: Knowledge, Fibers, Beads, (yes of course) Creativity, Happiness and Fun.

I have discovered Etsy.com and have created a store to show my fiber art work among trillions (probably an exaggeration - but in time ...) of other artists' stores. If you haven't heard of Esty check it out. I love seeing all the great work, information and all kinds of knowledge in the Community section and the ease in buying art "goodies" for myself. Next shop will focus on beaded art . This is exciting and just the beginning - so I am slow on the uptake, but only sometimes - blogging oh where have you been ?

Thanks for stopping by and please leave comments and suggestions.
