Bead Room Tour of a Polymer Clay Bead Artist

Ok , So the secret is out ! I have two studios so ladies when your husband complains your bad with your craft supplies show him mine and I didnt even show you half . But keep in mind this is years of collecting and my girl friend owned a bead store for many years so we supported each other very well. lol hope you like the tour this was filmed and edited by my beautiful daughter Annie .
You can tell how much not having the proper lighting can kill a video - I feel like I need to refilm this with better lighting but I'll always keep this because my daughter filmed and edited it

I have another channel with a really simple Valentine idea check it out here kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJuVZqSbhbGnbrM

[@debsherart8045]

Chuckling...Saw it and saved it and already have a box of scrap fabric cut for it! I'm a big fan! (Remember that commercial right around Thanksgiving...Several, several years ago???)

OMG Susan, the sheer opulence ! My eyeballs are getting fat from all the eye candy! What a show!

[@artsygigi]

The Disneyland of bead rooms!!!!!!!

[@artinstitchtute9731]

I would venture to call it DisneyWORLD of bead rooms! 😂😍

[@tommelot7017]

Awesome room. You don’t need a craft store, you ARE the craft store.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

True

[@deniseosborne4045]

Your husband is awesome. The drawers are stunning and I’m glad they are being used and preserved. I’ve worked at many old schools that ended up closing. The wooden cabinets and library card holders were sharp but no one was allowed to remove them. By the time the schools were torn done they had been ransacked and set on fire a few times and everything was destroyed.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

That makes me want to cry ... thinking of it all going to waste

[@vivsalittlebitcrafty4854]

I am convinced we were separated at birth!! 😂😂 Mirrors, drawers, bling, oh my days....Heaven on Earth 💙 ..here in the UK, trying to find (and then afford) sets of drawers like you have is an almost impossible task. Love both of your crafty spaces so much.

[@bonniefaltz9505]

Wow! Whoa! You weren't kidding when you said you had tons of beads and crystals! Loved seeing Zsa Zsa and Abu too. Oh, pardon me while I wipe my face of drool! LOL. Fabulous collection of cool stuff and storage items.

[@michoumakes]

Simply jaw dropping from start to finish. Wow! Wow! Wow! I started watching you a few months back and every vlog is so inspirational. Not only is your collection immense and beautiful, I adore the collection of drawers too. Wonderful.😍😘😍 Grandma will be soooo proud of you.

[@christinemudler8230]

My mother just got me a button that says...it's not hoarding of you have really cool stuff... And next time she complains about my stash i will refer her to your video..lol love everything and you have truly become an inspiration to me. I discovered polymer clay about 18 months ago and found your channel after your 2nd video. I find myself watching the m over and over again! You are my go to for reminding myself everything doesn't have to be perfect and I want to thank you!! I look forward to your newest video weekly. Cannot wait for the flower with the dots!!!!!!!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

I haven't forgotten !

[@marionmathews9852]

WOW! I’m totally blown away by this Aladdin’s cave of beautiful objects. Everything is gorgeous to look at and some really quirky stuff too. I love it all. What an amazing collection. TFS

[@erickpolux]

I started using polymer clay in my accessories thanks to your videos, your home is so cute ♥️ I send you a big hug from Mexico

[@makokoro9073]

Hi, if you wish I can send you links to other polymer clay artists. Saludos de Texas

[@tammyreneemc5552]

Oh. My. God! Those drafting draws of crystals are straight up CRYSTAL PORN!!!!!! I need a minute, my heart is racing!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's the perfect description!

[@angelaruskowsky3808]

Honey you are what I aspire to be someday. Your whole persona inspires me.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Omg! Thank you

[@moniqaf]

Agreed!

[@carolroberts8539]

WOW! You have enough beads to open several bead stores! I just love all the shallow drawers you have, from both videos. This is what I want one day, beautiful storage and space to create! Thank you and Annie for sharing your spaces!

[@carinteriordesigner4695]

Dream craft room for any of the crafter from the world... if there is any award, it should go to u...

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

TY 😍

[@pennyventurino5937]

More beautiful than any jewelry store I’ve ever been in! Love your beaded boxes....maybe a tutorial? Tfs

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

I plan on doing those and lots of other stuff hidden in many of my drawers

[@deeward6914]

OMG! I had to go lie down after I saw this! Just watching was like I died and went to bead heaven. BEST tour on the internet, bc you recycle and re- purpose just like me. I LOVE your style, so Vintage Boho Chic. What's so amazing about what you share is your passion for what you do. It is evident in every single thing you demonstrate and display. You're my new BFF! PS. I showed my husband bc he has accused me about my studio collection (really just my son's vacated bedroom, LOL!). And he does the same thing to me at the craft store: "What do you need with that on top of what you already have?" is what I hear all the time so thanks for sharing. And I LOVE the puppies!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Thank you ! Your so kind , I love anything boho shabby chic it's funny with my hubby gives me nonsense at the craft store but goes to the bead show and helps me shop telling me he doesnt think I bought enough because he sees that stuff sell . Go figure !

[@lydiabrady6243]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful crafting room .All your beads are also beautiful. This is a crafters Disneyland!.♥️

[@sharonmhyre6929]

I am having crystal envy. I am completely dazzled and blown away by your extensive collection of shinies. You are lucky you don't live near me, otherwise I would be camped out at your place, going through all the drawers, drooling all over everything, and imitating Smeagol when you ask me to stop fondling the rhinestones. 😜

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

🤣lol that's exactly what all my friends do when they visit ! It's so funny

[@sharonmhyre6929]

If you are ever going to be in central Washington State, let me know. I would love to have you visit and have a clay day. My studio is nowhere near as cool as yours, but I am still working on it, so hopefully one day it will at least be pretty, and it is at least functional. 😊

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

TY your so sweet !

[@cazindeed1451]

Your beautiful daughter did a beautiful job of filming! Like I said previously, I have found heaven for crafting and I want to go there! Thank you for sharing!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Oh thank you, your so sweet !

[@kimpeasester]

I'm coming to live with you....lol. I'll have my art room packed in 2 days! You can just put me in your basement...You've stolen my heart...we both love to have and look at beautiful things and for me, that's mostly jewelry. Yes, my family calls me a jewelry hoarder, HOWEVER, I call it ART! Their will always be pieces I dont wear but I still have equal pleasure looking at my pieces..I think your work is over the top, high quality, unique, gorgeous, suitable for all ages and the list goes on. I loved the tour videos so thank you for sharing. I love all the pieces you create. Keep creating and I'll keep watching. hugs, Kim

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Thank you , I do have a huge collection of old jewelry too , I feel I'm saving it ! But somehow I always find a use

[@sandycooper3188]

Both of your rooms are fabulous!!!!!! I LOVE all your cabinets. They are absolutely AMAZING!!!!! Puppies are precious. I have a little shadow as well that follows me everywhere. Thanks for sharing. Take care ❤️

[@KellyBellcambridgegiftsbykelly]

Oh my goodness! Uncle! You win hands down. I want to come and live with you. Wow! Thanks for sharing and happy crafting 💎

[@CJG1419]

You are so fortunate to have a room to work in, it makes all the difference doesn’t it? Great furniture to store your stuff in! Amazing! Pet those puppies for me!

[@Virgi107]

I wanted to say as well you are so lucky to have a hubby who helps you and has found such cool things for your stash. Nice to have back up with your extremely busy career. Awesome. Thanks again for sharing.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

I am the luckiest woman having such a supportive husband

[@GWest5068]

Absolutely love your room's...what a awesome creative space...tfs

[@Natasjasart]

I will be re_watching these videos many times just to see how much I've missed, and to enjoy the crazy life of being an artist.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Crazy life is the perfect description thank God I have a supportive husband

[@francis999]

Wow Susan a lot of stuff but so well organized! Chapeau!

[@rlwhite55]

I am soooo envious that you have such an incredible studio with wonderful cabinets full of inspired supplies! Thank you for sharing! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@turtlesoupbeads751]

Took me years to collect all of that I started out with simple trays

[@helgama3048]

In such an amazing environment, who wouldn’t be inspired to create just anything? What a magical world you have, congratulations! 🍾🎊🎉🎈 Thank you for sharing it with us! I love EVERYTHING!😄👌🏻😍👋🏻❤️

[@annieo9468]

OMG.....your studio is stunning ! A work of art all on its own. I could happily sit in that room all day and do nothing but take in the beauty. Only one problem.....now I want to see your whole house, LOL

[@FaerieFenergles]

Far out Susan!!! Your studio is bigger than the little unit I live in in Australia!!!! You are sooooo lucky ... 😜💖

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

I'm am truly blessed!

[@galechicago325]

I especially love that you organize your collection in antique wooden drawers and other charming containers. Not a ton of plastic here. And no IKEA drawers! Well done, Susan.

[@MayhamSue]

I just want to come over and run my hands through at all the shiny sparkly things you have! LOL I love all the drawers, such a great way to store all of your treasures. I’m so happy I found your videos!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

TY !

[@amberclemons-lopez7220]

You're a very interesting lady! I love your videos and your studios. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

[@mallorychrisco4807]

What a wonderful treat to see one of your craft rooms! I love your drawers and dressers and I love blue too! Love the chandilier! I just started working with poly clay in December when my husband bought me everything I needed to get started. You are my inspiration and I love your voice and tutorials! I try to watch one every night! You make it look so easy that I keep trying and do over and over again. Im still practicing. Thank you for sharing a part of your world! I just luv ya Susan! Lory from Colorado

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Thank you , your so kind - stay warm !

[@deniseosborne4045]

How beautiful and so organized. I wish I had that in me rather than being comfortable in chaos. Thank you

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

I used to not be so organized but then my husband started buying me the drawers and then I was hooked

[@lovewisdomgrace]

Fantastic wooden storage! Love your organization style. Beautifully done!

[@NicoleCraftsHeart]

so im not alone in the craft hoarding! i love the vintage drawers im so envious!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

I bought all of my drawers at estate sales or from craigslist just a few small ones from ebay but check the local ebay listing they have some of the big ones too

[@marshamcallister3251]

Thanks so much for letting us in. Very inspirational, as all of your creations are. Love all the different style drawers. What a great way to store wonderful things. I will be on the look out for these great ‘holders of gems’ . I think I have spotted a little drawer cabinet, it’s my sister’s. Hope she will let me have it for my little bits. Thanks so much. I love watching you create on you channel!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

I actually got most of them from Craig's list and estate sales

[@kayperry7999]

Beautiful, just beautiful. Love all the different cabinets you have.

[@amydavis4945]

Next time hubby asks if I have enough beads yet, I'm going to sit him down to your video. LOL! BTW, whenever I say "a girl can never have enough ....", hubby says "maybe you're becoming too much girl!" ;)

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

🤣

[@myfairytreasures]

I love your bead room. What a wonderful collection of beads you have. We are kindred spirits I have a craft room and a art studio in my house. Again sooo beautiful!!!!!

[@hathorearthfyre]

Your place is so ornate! Awesome, fits the baroque style of your creations. I need more of those cool chests, I can't find stuff when I need it. Thanks for sharing!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

I got a lot of them from craigslist

[@pameladixon1084]

You are so organized! Would be fun to go shopping with you!! Thanks for the great videos! The camera person is doing a great job too! 😃🥳

[@AleDen1972]

Awesome studio!!! Love your style!

[@chuckswain8299]

Great bead inventory. I also like your drawer storage

[@diane-quiltingbyday7822]

Love the studios. You collect beads like I do fabric. You gotta start somewhere. I have always used beads to embellish fabric (wedding gowns).started watching you tube videos on beading and thought, I can do this! Charts are like reading counted cross stitch charts and the beading is just like beading on fabric in a way. Found yours and love your way of doing things... No fuss, no muss. You don't have to do things a specific way. Just what works for you! Thank you for helping me to have the courage to extend the madness and the beginning of a new collector of sparkly things. Not that I needed too much encouragement! Keep sparkling and spreading the joy.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

I'm really into fabric scraps too ! I think it's all about the textures that excites us

[@gracehig8235]

I’m impressed by all you have collected, your studios and creations, but I was more taken by your photos of the woman who inspired you...your grandmama. Love your little four legged companion too.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

She was my biggest cheerleader I wish everyone had someone like her

[@josielynn378]

I absolutely love you and all your videos you are my favorite polymer clay/craft artist and LOVE ALL YOUR COLLECTION ALL OF IT All us crafters are horders to some degree I think. Love you :-) look for your videos everyday Thank you for sharing your talents with us

Thank you !

[@josielynn3469]

[@srvntlilly]

Holey moley! Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor!! Whoa! 😮Oh, and your doggies are adorable... and I thought I saw a kitty in there, too, lol. I am sooo jealous! Those drawers and drawers of crystals! Omigosh, I'm gonna be dreaming of them! 🤗🌹🌸🌷

The way you have everything setup - just makes you happy! Thanks so much for tours and the camera Lady did a wonderful job! Can't wait to see the next video! TFS - Hugs, Christal

[@1tinac]

Great tour. Fabulous space.

[@kathiehayes865]

Wow!! And I’m a hoarder too of art supplies..... Gorgeous rooms filled with so much interesting stuff. I’d start looking at one thing and then jump to a hundred more. What a great place to work and play. Saw both your video studio tours. Thank you.

[@craftingmamaberne3776]

I've just watched both of your room tours and OMGOSH I've never been so jealous and green eyed but even more so excited in all my life 😱😱😱😱😱Holy Bead of Heaven right here. 😍😍😍 these are both amazing spaces to be able to create in. I must say I absolutely loved seeing how the rooms were decked out in some truly beautiful old furniture. You must be in heaven creating in these spaces. I can't wait to watch more of your videos and being able to see many more sparkles. TFS xxBerne from the UK

[@ScreeminMeeme]

Absolutely fabulous! And your daughter is beautiful too. How blessed you are! Thanks for sharing. Now I have to go confess my envy. ;)

[@pamelalandrum82]

Love it. Thanks for sharing. That’s a big accomplishment. Lots of inventory. Love your work. Very inspiring. A girl after my own heart. Love your drawers! Have to have organization. 🌸

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Got most of them from ebay and craigslist it's funny when people get tired of them they go very inexpensively

[@rosecorrado6648]

Omg! You have enough stash to go into business selling your stash LOL!!!! I’m so jealous!!!!!!

[@monicazbrodoff2183]

Love love LOVE both this room and the garage😍😍😍 I’m moving into a garage specifically to set up a studio for crafting. Half will be a living space for me the other half will be a craft room. This is to combine my two passions...tiny house living and crafting. I’m so blown away by your setup. Thanks for sharing Susan. You are my role model 🧚‍♀️🥰🥂

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

i bought a lot of night stands that were all drawers and i didnt pay much for them they are great because you can stack them or lay them out exactly how you need them and just paint them to match your style, it sounds like it will be adorable when its done!

[@jilllukas]

Wow, What an Awesome Room!! I wanna come play. lol Love All the Antique Drawers you have. Their All so Pretty in their own way. The 1 w/ wood cheese boxes as Drawers are so Cool!! TY for Sharing your space.😊 Take Care Susan .. Hugz, Jill🤗😊tfs p.s. TY to the Lovely Girl that did the Recording. She did an Awesome Job!! Your Little Doggies are so Cute!! 🙂

[@janetevans751]

Fantastic! Thank you for taking time to share your passions with us. I love your style. I might throw in the towel on making clay beads. I believe I'm to heavy handed. I'm usually making paper beads and making rock concert t-shirts. I like covering items with round marbles. The kind we had as a child. Currently glueing marbles inside a bird bath tub, it's beautiful. I'm loving your bead stash! Janet aka (Stitchy Needles), my beading Alter-Ego name.
