Collections

Daily writing prompt

Do you have any collections?

I have always been a strong proponent of not having collections because they take up space. But, if I have a collection that ‘moves’ so to speak, that’s ok. Here’s what I mean. I have a collection of beads of all types, but I create beaded jewelry with them and sell the pieces as craft fairs. There are various reasons why people collect certain items. I decided to collect beads because, even though the cabinet I keep them in takes up space, it isn’t a large space. At the same time I get to do something I enjoy, that is to make something with them and give others joy when they purchase the jewelry I create with them.

Below is a photo of one of my pieces of jewelry.
