Key's Klubhouse - Art: Beadwork

In 2024, I was very art-blocked for Art Fight and spent the first half of the month struggling to figure out what to do for my attacks. Then I saw that some friends were doing kandi (beaded) bracelets for some of their attacks, and I was inspired! I'd always wanted to get into making kandi and this was as good an excuse as any. And it was so much fun! I've stuck with it since, even branching out into keychains and shrinky dinks to make charms with. I might even try to incorporate my interest in polymer clay eventually!
