SHARING MY BEADING KNOWLEDGE

Two pals have been expressing interest in learning some beading techniques. What a lovely way to spend the day....
 Don't they look studious!
 We concentrated on the even count peyote stitch...used to attach objects such as mirrors, cabochons, and agate slices.
They both got "A's" for their diligent work!
Here's an agate slice incorporated into a wall piece, using this method.  It's fun to find slices with holes.....providing an opportunity to add some fringes.  You can view the entire piece in my blog shop.

That's a very functional and pretty stitch- they did a good job.

yes very studious, I personally finding beading a bit fiddly for my clumsy big hands but do use it on crazy work sometimes
