What's stringing?

All year long, I string words for a living – for TV and radio commercials, print ads, videos, brochures, posters, shows and launches, magazine articles and editorials.

But come Christmas (and during gaps in between jobs), I string beads...
into bracelets...
necklaces...
watches...
bag charms...
tree trinkets...
and onto flip flops...
coin purses...
and gifts.

Every year, I introduce a new line. Product research and development (naks!) start in October and by November, production of my marketing tools: photos and postcards begin:
2004 edition
2005 edition
2006 edition

This year, the words got in the way... and so the strings got tangled up a bit.

But inspiration struck yesterday and smoothly rolled into pre-production. Inventory (of existing materials) and purchasing are both on-going. Pricing is being determined. Packaging is being developed as well.

And so what am I stringing together this time?
Tradition. Creativity. Innovation. Affordability.

Coming very soon from Bead Mama.
