Beading for fun

Amanda got me started beading. She's really really good at it Me?, not so much, but I do enjoy it. Today I attended my very first bead show downtown Austin. The REALLY big one is next weekend but I'll be in Houston for convention and miss that one. Probably a good thing. The picture shows the beads I bought today. Can't wait to get started playing with them, I only wish Amanda was here to guide me. I did not get the artist gene like she did.
