I spent many long hours hunched over my embroidery frame sewing on one bead at a time. Throughout the process, I ask myself, “why do I do this to myself?” Well, I’ll answer that too. It’s because I can see the end result. I know how it’ll look, and it’s going to be amazing. All the hard work and little details matters in the end.
My love for bead work comes from watching my mother as a child. I remember running my hands through my Mother’s sewing tote of beads and sequins as she would spend hours sewing beads onto the traditional Hmong clothes.
