- Beads, creativity, and healing are related.
- Beads help us to break through the walls of doubt and criticism that prevent us from exploring our full artistic potential.
- Beads are a pathway to greater creativity and source for personal healing.
- If you want creativity, if you want to develop your artistic abilities, work with beads.
- Beads are inherently creative due to the infinite variety of their colors, shapes, sizes, materials and texture.
- This artistic medium allows you to be like a child in a castle, every room filled with unique, challenging and beautiful toys, and hours to play with them.
- - Beads are good therapy and much cheaper than a therapist.
- - Beads bring beauty and a creative force to our lives that is healing and nurturing.
- - You and I are worth it; and we don’t have to sell our work to prove it!
- - Beads are valuable, whether they’re in a drawer, on our works-in-progress, or on a finished piece.
- - Making things with beads, even simply holding or looking at them, connects us to our artistic side, our creative force.
