Bright and Shiny Things
I love them. Bright and shiny things. They simply fascinate me and take my attention, like a chicken.
I remember feeding the chickens and I had to remember to not go barefoot, or wear sandals or anything shiny on my feet. The chickens would peck mercilessly at my shiny toenails, a buckle, a ring, or whatever distraction or tasty looking object a chicken might like.
When working with the beads and findings, I totally appreciate where those chickens are coming from. I can spend hours at the table, putting together all sorts of combinations of beads and baubles and shiny findings. Next thing you know, I've made a dozen of these adorable keychain charms that I've now listed at my Etsy Shop. Hopefully someone else will love them enough to buy them so I can continue to fund my love of playing with shiny objects. Good thing I'm not playing with knives....
