The Wide World of Beads (Raquel)
June 28, 2005 by Raquel
Warning–this post really is about beading. I find the subject fascinating but you may find it rather dull.
I feel positively hyper–well, for me anyway. I’ve decided to order a bunch of beads and I have so many ideas for projects. I’ve never done any beading before. I did make a couple of necklaces when I was little, but now I’m looking at beaded knitting, and beadweaving, and beaded crocheting, and… And there are so many possiblities. I’m not very fond of beads added to fabric, but a fabric with beads woven into it sounds lovely. I’ve decided not to make the beaded bonsai tree, but I am considering bead shoes, hats, Christmas tree ornaments, chokers, and pendant bags. I even saw a pattern for a beaded chess set…
When my sister and I were younger, we made beaded Christmas Tree ornaments for all of our aunts one year for Christmas. I can’t remember exactly what they looked like, but they were lovely. There is nothing like a homemade gift. Good luck (in a way that doesn’t deny God’s providence
in your endeavors. You should post pictures.
