Way back in July of this year (2020), the 24th to be exact, I woke up early with an idea and some ambition in my body.
It was still dark, but the sun was slowly rising, turning the remnants of night into a beautiful sunny day.
I remember looking at it very fondly as it had been rare for me to want to get up so early, especially to create anything.
My room is very different now, but back then, I had two boxes that were next to the door to the room, filled with books, empty jars, and other nick-knacks. I opened one of them up, picked out some glass beads—things I never thought I’d use, but had received from my dad (Thank you, dad <3)—and got to drawing and arranging.
Pictured here are the results of that. I wasn’t quite sure what I was doing, but boy, was I excited.
