I grew up in a small village. Most of the 800 members of the community had a very vocal opinion about each other. Sticking your head out of the grey, homogenous mass and being yourself were not seen as values, especially not something a little girl should pursue.
“Be polite, speak only when asked, and keep your pretty clothes clean” – I was told.
Since then, a lot has changed. The little girl, who was at the beginning afraid of the sharp tongues, and later painted her hair red and run head-first into every wall, is gone now. Who’s left in her shoes? Look at my jewelry, and you might very well know 🙂
LET’S BEAD A STATEMENT OF WHO YOU ARE!
But first, you have to promise me something.
- Be kind.
Let’s give each other compliments instead of side-eyes.
Let’s encourage each other to step out of the box, closet, whatever bars are holding us back from being who we are. - Let’s not be afraid of colors any more!
Wear black, if you want, and wear all the colors of the rainbow, when you feel that way. - Let’s not hesitate about the size of your jewelry.
Go small and decent, when that’s what you’ll be comfortable with, and wear shoulder-dusters and three necklaces at the same time, when that’s what you need.
- To help you go as bold and colorful as you want, from the 25th of November until the 1st of December you can enjoy 10% off the price of every statement size glass cabochon in the Storytelling bead shop. The discount is applied automatically.
- Moreover, if you choose at least 4 pieces of 27 mm round glass cabochons, you can choose a tutorial using this specific shapel, so you immediately have an idea how to use it 🙂
Just write the name of the tutorial (Caravaggio, Charlotte or Passiflore) in the message field when ordering, and we’ll send you the beading pattern when preparing your package.
All the cabochons were carefully selected by Erika.
Opals and turquoise tones are my favorites, and I missed these when working with statement stones. After many trials and errors I found a responsible manufacturer providing high quality cabochons in these special colors.

Have a nice day and happy beading!
Erika
My name is Erika Sandor.
After running a bead shop for six years I started to design beaded jewellery and write beading tutorials full time. I am a member of the Beadsmith Inspiration Squad. I love to play with colours and all the new bead shapes, but the my favourite thing is to see the happy faces of students after a workshop or a picture of a jewel made from one of my tutorials. I hope you will soon become one of them!
