做珠子编的项链和手链是我第一个喜好。每每坐下来，玩弄那些五彩缤纷的小珠子，就觉得时光停滞了。其实是非常花时间的。珠子五颜六色的，在手中，只需要一根线，就能打造出美丽精致的花样。我不喜欢读编珠子的杂志，因为太多遵从别人的指导，而且花很多时间。我喜欢逛手工店，浏览五彩多样的珠子。看到喜欢的就买，然后想可以拿来做什么。看到喜欢的简单的图样，我也会照着样子去想怎么做。穿珠子最大的乐趣是搭配颜色。我特别钟爱蓝色和红色系列。以后有时间，也想试试黄色和橙色系列。最近喜欢比较复杂的样式，所以有了下面这个作品。复杂的样式开始的时候比较慢，等上手以后，看到珠子在手中逐渐演变成一个精致的物件，感到非常奇妙。做好一个，又想到另外的演变。又跃跃欲试下一个编珠项目。我是不是前世就是个做针线活的丫头啊？哈哈

Sometimes, I feel that in my past life, I must be a maid doing knitting all the time. When I sit down doing my craft projects, time seems to be stopped. But it actually flies.

Beading is my first hobby. I love the simple color in beads, and the variety of things you can made with them. My beading projects are mainly simple necklaces and bracelets, as more complex projects involving huge amount of time and effort to learn and practice. I just started with a string and beads of brilliant colors. Because I don't like to read instructions in beading magazines, I mainly look at pictures and do it as I feel right. Most of the time, I go to stores and browse their beads. I buy the ones that look nice to me and think of a project that might use them. I like to try different color combinations. Blue, red are two of my favorite color schemes. If I have time later one, I might venture into yellow and orange.
