Unshackled!

So OK, it's not exactly crunch time but the bazaar is only ten days away and I am in a mild state of panic. One, because I still don't have everything made (e.g. my harness chain necklaces). Two, because this is the first time that I would actually be participating in a bazaar. When I was a teenager, my mom had a stall in Baclaran where she sold ready to wear clothes. I would help her out at times but I was never the front man, she was always the star. She is a super salesperson, something that I have never been good at.

But the thing is, I am enjoying doing these necklaces. I've always been a crafty type of person. Doing stuff with my hands, it comes easy to me. I have done decoupaged items and folder collages, paper cutouts and hand-painted boxes, all sorts of stuff. For months now, I've wanted to channel my crafty side but have never found the right medium. And I was pleasantly surprised when I had fun working with chains.

Fortunately, my sister B called and calmed me down. B makes beautiful wire bracelets and I just love, love, love them. She is an excellent craftsman. She asked, "Are you happy with what you're doing?" I answered yes. And she said, "Then that's all that matters." And she is absolutely right.

Wish me luck! :)

P.S. I have decided to call my line of chain necklaces, Unshackled!
