I started to bead 10 years ago cause I broke my leg and was laid up for 12 months in plaster so I needed some entertainment. I landed in a craft shop in Bendigo and got a bead kit to try and it just went from there! That year I made Christmas presents out of seed beeds for everyone from coasters and napkin rings, keyrings and jewellery... just took it back up again!

Just have made a few phone charms recently but want to get into other stuff for presents and things. Thinking of wine glass decorators, book marks, bag charms, bubble blowers and jewellery.. or whatever else comes! Thinking of some more seed beading too to make some nice amulet bags for going out.

Only really done hand woven seed beading so far so I am looking to try out lots of other styles.

Books usually for seed beed patterns but pictures seem to be helping now too.

Have fun!
