Question? Does anyone here do seed beading?
I did for about a decade +/-. life took over and i've put it all to the side. haven't done any now for quite some time but really would like to get back in to it. before my husband died we even built a studio onto the house so i could have a dedicated spot to make things and then sell them as i was trying to get a business started with it and other things i made. life is what happens while you're making other plans...
I've used some beads in my wire weaving but they are usually not the really small ones, the bead must fit a 24 or 26 gauge weaving wire or a 20 gauge base wire.
I do. I've done necklaces, change purses, bracelets and embellishments. Currently working on an Artist Trading Card piece.
I use some seed beads in jewelry making. I did a lot of bead embroidery and bead weaving in the past.
@Sheannutt I had beadwork parties in the past. I have so many beads I don’t know what to do with them. Also Swarovski crystal beads. Once I was using about 12 different colours of seed beads I think for a beaded belt I was weaving. I had all the vials open on a shelf and I accidentally bumped the shelf. I had to sort out like a million damned beads.
Very little...I have seed beads to donate to whoever might want them. I’ll do a picture inventory if anyone is interested; message me.
My eyesight is way too poor and my hands are not quite nimble enough!
I have. Both loom and lazy stitch. Never could get the hang of peyote stitching, though.
By the third row, peyote works quickly and easily. The beads you need to thread through just pop up naturally.
@Kafir I've never used a loom because the threading looks so onerous.
