I am a person who liked making China Berry Seed beads because the cost of semi-precious gemstone beads prohibited me from beading as often as I wanted, and because the notion of mining the earth's minerals to make beads troubled me. I decided to turn my hobby into a business and offered my beads to a local bead store. She bought 30 strands on the spot. So I decided to harvest enough China Berries to provide beads beyond my immediate community. Hopefully people will like them as I have been canning seeds and there are more than I can use on my balcony and in the closet.
