This Little Piggy

The international tariff budget line on a bead invoice jolted me along with notice of across-the-board price increases.  I considered the monetary cost of hoarding but also the expense of time to source, sort, and store excess supplies.

Confronting how greed and desire to acquire more propels fears of deprivation, I conceded to my perception of enough.  The art of beadwork was born from a global economy, and my existence relies on both.
