beading – Through My Eyes

Beading Week

This week I have gone back to doing a little beading. I don’t typically use a pattern so what you get is what you get.

Beading is very teadious but the results can be rewarding. It takes me a day and sometimes longer to complete one pair. The beads have to be woven in a pattern tightly which makes it more time consuming.

In all things there are lessons….in beading it is patience.

Have a blessed Easter. Christ sacrificed his life for us…sacrifice some time for Him.

Bead By Bead

So today I have been beading. I started out the day doing simple earrings:

This afternoon I started a Native American style fringe earring. These are worked with very small seed beads added to a beading needed. You first start by making a ring and then working back through half of them to start the brick pattern. These take quite a while to complete but worth the effort. There are patterns on pinterest and on the Fire Mountain Gem website.
