| | Ask any bead artist and they'll tell you that beading is a meditative experience, a chance to reflect upon their life and an aid to healing their hurts. | | | While many societies no longer adorn their dead with beads, the therapeutic value of beadwork has not changed much in that regard and many of us bury the ghosts of our pasts, one bead at a time in our work. | | | A single bead took roughly an hour to make, so if we compare the man's beadwork to the children's, we see that roughly 3,000 hours (125 days) went into his beadwork, while the children's took over 5,000 hours each (416 days combined). |
