Beading
Does anyone do beading? I started taking an on-line course for Indiginous Beading. Most people I know that do beading, it is putting beads on strings to make necklaces and bracelets. This is attaching beads to material to make pictures.
Re: Beading
There are a few designers who are well into beads -- Hazel Blomkamp, for example. I did rather more beading on my "Firebird" piece than I anticipated. There are certainly more sensible and effective ways to use beads than I have done. I'll be interested in what you are doing, Roland.

Re: Beading
Sounds like an interesting variation!
Serinde, having looked through the Hazel Blomkamp book I've been given I think she and I have different views on beads - I like them, but not THAT much !

Re: Beading
Indeed. But what she does with them!! Roland, if you have a chance you might find her designs interesting from the beading perspective.
Re: Beading
Those are interesting. Don’t think I’ve ever seen them before.
Re: Beading
I do not think that I have seen beading on material before, Roland., except of course for the occasional bead on a design ( for the center of a flower for example)

Re: Beading
Here’s a link with a variety of pictures of bead work.

I never start with anything small. I am hoping to make the peaked cap for my granddaughter. However, finding the wool will be difficult, and I think to expensive. Might try to find something else. But first....must learn how to bead.

Re: Beading
Goodness. That's complicated, and learning skills first is a good idea, I suspect.
