RECENT VISITORS







WHY I BEAD / LOVE BEADING
I've met many people through my beading. I find it very relaxing.

MY FAVORITE BEADING PROJECTS
My favorite techniques are chain maille and Kumihomo.

MY FAVORITE BEADING STYLES
Almost any kind.

WHERE I GET MY BEADING IDEAS FROM
Everywhere

FAVORITE PLACE TO GET SOME BEADING DONE
The living room or anywhere I am.

WHERE I GET MY BEADS FROM
Mostly on line though I have a favorite LBS,
Beadcache.

MY FIRST BEADING MEMORY
I watched my parents bead in the 70's. My Dad made many necklaces and bracelets using 3 mm pearls. He had diabetes and lost the sight in one eye but he still made jewelry. Many years later I started making various kinds of jewelry but I still have some of theirs. My Mother did the crochet ropes that were popular then and are now coming back.

Hi Bev, I had never known "the Correct"  Name for the art, I do macrame' and have done the chinese Crown knot it sounds similar, I now realize that the crown knot must be  one in the group of "Kumihomo" I had thought it was a macrame' knot, you are right it is addictive........I actually live in Sandwich exit #3,  about an hour 10min (off season) to Boston, I usually head West up the Mass pike to see the Grands! their wrists are full of Jewelry, macrame  and the everpresent Friendship Bracelet!    Thank you for sharing.  I would like to add you to my friends list if you don't mind?  I'll send you the formal request, this is fun......got to run have one more item to finish tonight.

Janice, Magnetlady28 aka Bev here. Kumihimo is Japanese braiding. Ever do friendship bracelets? Very similar. The "real" way is to do it on a maurdai. I do it on a foam disk. You can use just plain fiber cords or add seed beads. I have some examples on my blog and web site if you want to look. I think you would like it. However, be aware it can be addicting.




If you want more information, just ask.
