About

Hi there and welcome to Heaven of Beads! My name is Clara and I am currently 17 years old. I have a passion for making jewelry from beads and other natural materials like coral, seashells and leather. I love finding unusual materials from stores and places all over the world when I travel with my family. This past summer, I discovered an alley in Barcelona’s old town where every other shop was a bead and crafting store with an incredible variety of choices. I also found some great beads in the Dutch quarter of Potsdam in Germany. My favorite colors are pastel and galaxy, but I often mix these colors with primary shades. My dream is to one day become a jewelry designer….. but for now, I plan on starting a bead club at school. At school, I also took a business class and have learned how to write a business plan, how to budget for my fiscal year and why it is important to have an advisory board and mentor.
