A bead a day keeps the stress away. Although my work is selling beads, also during my free time I like to work with them. On the one hand I always want to learn the new techniques ('yes now I know how it works') but it also works as relaxing and I compare it often to meditation (it makes me relaxed after a long day work to do some beading).
Making the perfect color combinations is a fun part of beading, but definitely challenging too. That was my motivation behind developing colors-gallery on Miyukibeading.com, which hopefully will grow into a big database for all kind of beaders around the world, where they can share their color combinations.
