This month's theme for the Jewelry Artisans Community's blog ring is to show your stash.
I have to be honest, that's a bit of a problem. When we decided on the
theme, I still thought - in my typical naive way - I could organize my stash
before taking pictures to make it less embarrassing. I had done it a while ago, so at least it's not
all one big mess, but I ran out of space about three nanoseconds after I
had done it ... and the new drawer box, well, it's still in the bag.
That means you won't get to see everything, just a few carefully chosen bits.
A little over a year ago I would have thought that the next few pictures were fakes. Seed beads and me seemed to be impossible then, at least these by Miyuki.
After I had made my first loomed bracelet, I reluctantly got a few colors, thinking I would use them up right away. No more new stash building, I'm not a squirrel after all. I'm at about 150 colors now, more or less of course as I use them up or get new ones. Never say never, huh?!
Don't they look good enough to eat?

| I'm so looking forward to my next Bollywood cuff to use some of that hot pink .... if I only had a really good idea for a pattern at the moment! |
 |
| To show you that I actually CAN be organized! |
 |
| Miyuki cubes - another obsession. Peeking in, not used in a long time, my knitting spool. |
 |
| Miyuki 11 seed beads. At first I thought they couldn't beat Delicas, but now I feel I need so many more colors of these!! |
 |
| I can't forget the wire of course. Where would I be without my wonderful
wire in all kinds of colors? Believe me, there too is much more! |
I hope you enjoyed this tiny glimpse into my stash. Who knows, maybe the miracle will happen and I'll have my lampwork organized, so next time I can show you all the beauties waiting for me to make something with them!
Have a look at what the others have to say about their stash. You can find their posts here, have fun!
