Beads to Buckskins

We have had many requests for basic bead stringing instruction using larger beads, covering knotting between the beads on the neckline and incorporating the smaller beadwork techniques into a necklace without going into difficult technical movements that confuse the beginner. So we have made a special effort to simplify as much as possible the illustrated instructions and show photos where necessary to avoid confusion. Beading does not have to be a difficult hobby. It can be a very prosperous and rewarding profession. Once you have made the commitment to what was once just a good idea, its on its way to becoming reality created by your own hands. Reviving your creative ideas comes by completing each project you begin before starting another. An unfinished idea becomes just that, an idea, until it's completed. Creativity begins with a thought and ends with your hands expressing your thoughts. Self expression in color highlights your idea, projecting your since of beauty.

Here are some photos of bead stringing. In this volume you will learn the technique of bead stringing. This is a wonderful way to create beautiful contemporary and Native American jewelry that will empress even the most picky of jewelry wearer's. These peaces are done by Frieda Bates and Kathy Holicky.

Thank you both for shearing and letting the beading world see how beautiful and exquisite beads can be worn.
