Here in the United States of America, we are lucky to have many types of freedom:
Freedom to bear arms
Freedom of assembly
Freedom of association
Freedom of education
Freedom of the press
Freedom of religion
Freedom of speech
Freedom of thought
Well, I added a new one to the list:)
The freedom to bead.
The freedom to bead is the power to create beadwork as you choose, with no design restrictions. This freedom is a gift that has been given to people all over the world who possess the desire to bead:)
I exercised the freedom to bead by creating this freeform peyote necklace. I used over 30 different kinds of red, white, & blue seed beads, including silver stars, to create this piece. It closes with a sterling silver slide clasp.
This necklace was created as a gift for a friend who lives overseas:)
