Beaded or bead woven jewelry is such a joy to create and to wear. There are countless stitches that are thousands of years old, and countless variations on each stitch.Beading seems to connect me to some ancient roots even tho I don't know exactly where those roots lie.
I love to pick a color pallet of various sizes of beads, thread my needle and say "what if". Sometimes I pick a stitch and use different variations throughout the project, and sometimes I mix stitches just to get the look I want.
Drop by my Galleryand browse a while.
This "Drops Necklace" is one of my first Right Angle Weave patterns. You can find the pattern at My Etsy Shop
This "Round n Round" necklace is also Right Angle Weave. Make it with 3mm fire polished beads and 6 mm pearls for a more dressy look. Pattern is also available at My Etsy Shop.

Bead Work
Bead Work Throughout the World
In some cultures these beaded objects were used to tell a story, much as prehistoric man drew pictures on the walls of caves.
The stitch we call peyote has been found in many different locations throughout the world. It seems many major cultures used this technique to weave their beads.
In some cultures such as the Zulu of Africa, beaded jewelry in a method of communication. Different geometric shapes as well as the colors used denote a person's status. Thus a young man can easily pick out a woman in a crowd who is single and available from the wives, mothers, widows etc.
