Celebrate 'hanami' with us! Hanami, or 'flower viewing' is the Japanese tradition of observing the blooming 'sakura' or cherry blossom. Hanami is gathering with friends or loved ones and enjoying food, tea, or companionship under the delicate pink canopy of cherry blossoms. Nature only gives us a sliver of time to view this majestic experience. It is as fleeting and wonderful as life itself. Be in the moment and appreciate this ephemeral gift of beauty. Cherish the arrival of spring and the wonders of nature as we walk beneath the waving petals of the cherry blossom.

Sara will be doing a live broadcast on the Soft Flex Facebook page and YouTube Page, with the Cherry Blossom Beading Design Challenge Kit on Wednesday, March 29th at 3pm (PT).

If you'd like to join us in the design challenge next month, buy this kit and challenge yourself to try something new and unexpected. If you are new to beading, this kit comes with findings, beads, wire, and surprises.

Our kits are great for skill building. We want our kits to feel challenging. We want them to be accessible for beginners and advanced designers alike, but we love to throw in elements that may seem difficult to test our beaders skills and make them think out of the box. We think jewelry is great when it is easy. But when you really have to engage your mind and process your materials and tools, we think that your jewelry has the potential to be life changing.

Our kits may be inspired by a colorway or theme, but they are meant to be creative interpretations. Imagination and innovation do not follow the rules. Expect the unexpected.

Supplies are very limited. Don’t miss out!
