Making Jewelry at the Crafty Hands Club

The Lake Rabon Crafty Hands Club met yesterday and made jewelry, mainly necklaces and earrings. The craft appears deceptively simple. It takes skill and vision, just like any other art. In this case, you need good eyesight as well as vision--some of those parts are tiny!

It's an addictive craft. Once I get the beads out and lay them on the black mat along with my limited set of tools, the rest of the world seems to drop away.

At lunch, we feasted on homemade cookies. Then, we went back to work on our bead projects. It's been a long time since we had a postprandial session. I was gratified that we worked so intently and produced such professional-looking pieces.
