Useless Facts On A Woven Piece

That turned out beautifully! I love bead weaving as well, though I've never done a picture quite like this. Just some simple patterned bracelets. I was thinking about doing some cute woven Christmas designs though, like wreaths or Santa Clause faces. ^^

What and where is the on-fire beading artists and designer group???? I know there have got to be a ton of us on this website...just practically got here myself, how do we get all our talent together and in action in one group?

Very pretty and I admire the skill and patience that it takes to weave those very small beads. How very lovely. What size seed bead do you use? Do you ever use bugle beads? Do you weave crystal bicones, etc. Looking forward to reading more about your bead art.

If you do decide to try it, buy a Bead and Button magazine. The have instructions for each of the weaving stitches in every issue.

Ok, well I might just try ...Im familiar with some beading and have done it, in other ways, but the weaving beading never tried it..you have now inspired me to do just that;)...anyway..beautiful work jojewel:)

Thank you Littlepurrr! I'm sure that you could do it too. The trick is to start off with something easy. It's fun when you get the hang of it.

wow, thats gorgeous and artistic and amazing! I dont think I could ever do that..hehe Ive done some miserable little bracelets..ha! My collar's off to your immense patience and talent jojewel. thanks for sharing that! purrrs. Very impressive, still looking")

Haha! That's why I tell everyone who wants to try it to start with the cheaper seed beads that can be found at Walmart. Then if you really enjoy weaving it is worth investing in the Japanese seed beads because they do give a better result.

YIKES! made of crystal then, methinks! LOL!

They sure do come in beautiful colours, Des, but they are dang expensive. I just got an order in today. $52.00 for 10 7.5 gram packets.



Thank you Frito! Actually, when you get the hang of it, it is very relaxing. I really enjoy seeing the design take shape with each new row that is added.

I love Pandas...don't know if I'd ever have the patience to bead weave but I enjoy seeing your lovely works! :)

thanks! It sounds like it would be relaxing. I wanted to try an art quilt or something too, with some beading. Seed beads come in such beautiful colors :)



Thanks for posting the pic....it is beautiful!

All I need to do now is attach the fringe. Yes, I'll post a picture of the finished piece. If you do decide to try it, Destry, start with something easy to see if you like it. I started with very simple designs using beads bought at Walmart. Then, if you enjoy it, you can start using better quality beads. The beads most often used are Miyuki Delicas.

cool! I would love to learn to bead weave. I have a book on how to make little woven bead boxes, but haven't found the patience for it yet. Are you going to post a pic when you finish it? I would love to see it. :)
