Beading is the “hottest” craft trend in Taiwan right now. There are so many beading supply stores open everywhere. My aunts and their neighbors are also very crazy about beading, and have been beading day-and-night whenever they have spare time. They gave me many of their beaded works during my last trip back home. When I said many, I meant over 30 pieces. I had to bring an additional suitcase to bring them back to the US with me. So, now, we have beaded animals displayed all over our house, just like my cousins’ houses, my parents’ house and my grandmother’s house. Everyone is “benefited” from my aunts’ beading hobby
