Learning About Craft from Hemp

I have learned many things about craft while making my beads and hemp necklaces. First of all, it can be extremely time consuming. It takes me two to three hours or more to make a couple beads and a necklace. It is extremely frustrating when I cannot get my design exactly right and I have to start over several times. Patience is the key in crafting. I like to find motivations for doing my crafted items, like making a gift for somebody. When I have a goal in mind I feel much more accomplished when I reach it. Farmers have to make very specific goals for when they are going to plant and harvest their crops. Fortunately, my goals can be slightly more flexible because hemp necklaces are always in season. I do think that hemp jewelry targets the younger customers. This is probably because in the 1960’s, when it became extremely popular, mostly young adults made hemp jewelry. I have had a lot of trouble being creative with my bead making. I am not very good at coming up with designs and I am running out of ideas. I am going to start looking online for inspiration as well as asking the people around me what designs I should try making next. The best thing about craft is forming a product you are extremely proud of and you know others will really like it as well.
