Kansas’ Carol Beal (BeadUnsupervised) must have quite a stash of favorite beads that she dips into, mixing and matching until she gets her eclectic, slightly unbalanced look. Rummaging through her Pinterest boards lets you in on how her brain works and it’s a hoot.

Carol was an illustrator and greeting card designer for Hallmark before she jumped into the jewelry business. Her happy mix of materials and designs that please her is what most of us aspire to. It looks like she’s having fun. Catch more in her Etsy shop.
