Welcome to the Bead Bar in Orlando, Florida. My name is Sonia and I am here in part for
Expert Village to maybe get you a little more comfortable with the beading process. I would
like to maybe talk a little bit about inspiration. It is very common when someone walks into
the store for them to get intimidated. One thing I want to reassure everybody is that
first of all you can’t really go wrong. Truly you are constructing your piece to make
you happy, okay, and sometimes that inspiration may come just from a single strand of beads.
You may pick up strand of pearls and go oh my gosh! This is what I want to do. Sometimes
some of the beads are beautiful all by themselves. You don’t really have to add anything else,
simply restring them and add a clasp. Sometimes your inspiration may come from catalogues,
magazines, a movie; a piece you have seen someone wear. Al of these things help feed
that creativity in you, so my biggest advise is just don’t be afraid, get out there,
have fun with it, and get creative.
