Last week beading daily issue had lots of pictures of intricately woven seed bead jewelry. Though I have seen loads of bead woven designs before I never attempted it as I felt it was too complicated (I have tried beadweaving with wire though..remember square ring??). But last week after seeing that particularly issue I thought, ‘what sort of a beader (jewelry enthusiast) am I, if I dont know beadweaving with thread?’. After some brainstorming I turned to my omnipresent savior “Google” (actually you tube) and decided to learn the basics of beadweaving. I found a helpful video teaching Peyote stitch and I attempted it . The video looks simple and the technique is not very difficult.
so here’s my first attempt at beadweaving – a cubism inspired peyote cuff. It is a little loose but I guess I’ll make better ones with pratice. I got the idea for the clasp from a tutorial in Beading gem. Thanks Pearl !!
So here is my second attempt..definitely much much better than the first…. a peyote bangle
Cheers
