And I have totally opened up Pandora's box. After some exploring in downtown Alexandria, I discovered this neat little
bead store. Inside are two floors of beads in every color, shape, and material imaginable. They also offer classes at a very reasonable price. You buy the materials and they let you use their tools, so you can get the hang of things, and if you absolutely hate it you aren't out a ton of money in tools that you'll never use again. I figure I just could not pass up such an opportunity.
So I signed up and after two hours I had an array of earrings which I plan to give to my sister and all her roommates for Christmas (thus the blue and orange, UVA colors).
I then took my new found skills home and made some wine charms for a friend for her birthday.
I am very pleased with my new skill and am excited to take another class and start making even more wonderful trinkets!
