The beauty patch was a little mark with a big impact. Once upon a time, it was all the rage to adorn oneself with beauty patches. These little material creations were stuck onto the skin to emphasise the whiteness of the complexion and to conceal blemishes. They also had hidden meaning and we look at what the little marks came to signify.
So I decided to go ahead and splurge on a bead kit and I mean a big bead kit, I thought I should start making beaded earrings and such. I was thinking to create a bunch for craft shows or something. I was really surprised for my first time that these earrings above took my all damn weekend to construct and they aren't exactly what I was thinking of. Earring making like this is no joke and probably should be valued more in my opinion. I sure have a new appreciation for the craftsmanship to it. So if you are a beginner like me make sure you plan to spend quite a bit of time on a project like this, grab some snacks, watch a series, and bead the weekend away. <3
