Thank you ;D I learned off the internet - no kidding www.youtube.com/user/UntilWeBeadAgainThis lovely lady has a whole series of how to videos up. The turquoise one took me a week ONLY because 1- we have no "real" jewelry shops around my area 2- I just couldn't wait for ebay to deliver so I used regular needles and thread lol! It kept breaking. The second just a good day from start to finish- that's the difference beading needles and beading thread makes. |

WOW really like that first one, I always said I was opposed to beading, well then I started doing the metal clay and felt the silver needed something now I am addicted to crystals, LOL. I don't know if I would have the patience for what you did, but that first one has a very nice color palette.

Those are very beautiful!!! I try almost everything at least once, and I did try the beaded bezel once, lol. It takes great patience and a steady hand both I lack. Great job and welcome to the board!

Thanks All.
I made the turquoise for myself to wear to the Powwow.
I don't know about having a steady hand lol! Tips. Be sure to have
good light , threader , and beading materials I push play on my mp3
player and it's done before I realize it. Wire is quicker for sure but beads
are less costly and opens more options for my less than skilled self lol!

*beams* Thank you all.
I have a custom order for next week - a beaded draped black plume agate. I am anxious to get at it again, have had my grandsons for the past few days- beading will be a welcomed break.

Thank you  Ralph does great work. :drool: You can bet as soon as some things sale I'll be visiting you lol! I'm not surprised your cabs are used for beadwork. So many you have cut have such great color combination happening, beading would be easy. I have a small oval black plume agate I am beading around this week - then I think my next will be a triangular shaped Muscovite/Mica. Then we'll see if I am an artist or a wannabe still hehe |
