Yeah, more quintets

I'm stuck on making quintets. I know it must be boring but it's just where I'm at right now. I'm not bored. I keep thinking of new colour combinations and I have to try them out. The beads are stacking up in my shop and I'm kind of feeling like I'm wasting my time but can you be wasting time when you've got something to show for the time you've 'wasted'? I guess it's problematic if nobody wants the thing you've made but I keep shoving that thought to the back of my brain and hoping people will suddenly want the beads because if they don't I'm going to need to reconsider things.

Yeah, actually, thinking about it, spending hours making beads that you under-price but that only a couple of people want is indeed wasting time. And time is the most precious thing we have, isn't it? 

We've got plans to get a new shed next year, a proper large one that Chris and I can share, so I think I need to decide if that's going to be worth it or not. There's no point in building a space I might not need. I hate making big life decisions. I just want to make beads but when the beadmaking seems pointless it suddenly all feels a bit shit.

Anyway, that's enough moaning from me. I'll scoop all my bead angst back into its bottle and let it gnaw away at the back of my mind.

Here are some photos of shiny new beads along with details of the glass I used for them:

Creamsicle: CiM Foam encased with Effetre Super Clear 006 with decoration and spacers in CiM Creamsicle

Sepia: CiM Toto encased with CiM Sepia, decorated with CiM Toto with spacers in CiM Sepia

Mint & Lavender: Effetre Copper Green 219 encased with Effetre Pale Emerald Green 031 with decoration and spacers in Effetre Pastel Ink Blue/Lavender Blue 247

These beads are for sale in my shop and a bracelet upgrade is available for all three sets.

I'm off to make a few bits of jewellery now.

Thanks for listening to me whinge and I hope you have a good rest-of-Thursday.
