Suziequzie, I can completely understand the mentality. I posted this many, many, years ago on a similar thread, but there's a lot more "new" faces here.
Back in the '90's, I used to do Native American Beadwork. I learned while I was in the Boy Scouts, and continued until my mid-20's. I should still have some pictures, somewhere; I'll have to find and post a few.
It's meticulous, mind-numbingly boring work. But, I was completely addicted. I would finish one project, and immediately start another. Most projects were a "study", first of how to make the object, then afterwards, in patterns and color combinations. Sometimes I would make something just to try out some different beads.
Ok, I found one. I think I've posted this before.
