Welcome everybody. First thing first, please read the rules in community info.

My objective is to teach everybody who is interesting in beading to be able to bead. I know I may not be an expert but I love to share what I can do.

This is not selling community. This is not advertising community. There are other places for that.

I'm an easy person and I don't bite. Everything here is flexible. Feel free to ask questions if you're not sure about anything here.

Finally, I hope this community will be lively someday.

PS. About the thread, most of my tutorials with crossweaving technique used fishing nylon thread, something similar to Beadalon Supplemax (0.25mm/8lb). You can hand weave it without needle. But if you are not familiar with it, just use fireline or your favorite thread with two needles on both ends. Or you can use Right Angle Weave if you don't like to crossweave. Just exit your needle at the bead where the threads cross and keep good tension.

This is the tutorial index. I will update as frequently as possible.

Jan. 8th, 2013 @ 08:55 pm Square Stairway bead bracelet
Hi all,
Happy New Year :-)

For quite some time now I have tried to finde the underwater stones to bracelet #18, but I have had no luck. Either the stones were the wrong color or way too pricy. One day I was browsing Beadaholique's webshop and found Swarovski Stairway beads with two holes, so I tried to make the bracelet, but it did not fit so I decided to merge bracelet #18 and 19 (using Swarovski Stairway bead, 4mm bicone and Miyuki seed beads 11/0 and TOHO drop beads). I have slim wrists so I only needed 6 of the square beads. I love the bracelet. Thank you Beejang for your tutorials :-)

Hi Everybody! I found this site long time ago and totally fell in love with it, Beejang's tutorials are very helpful, I made two bracelets using her tutorials before x3 well.. I recently joined this community.. so I want to introduce myself :D

I'm from Mexico and I'm 17 years old xD I started beading like 3 years ago and I really enjoy it! I like making bracelets, but now what I love the most is making motifs x3 animal motifs to be more specific.. I'll post some pictures of works I've already finished.. and I would love to share what I can do too x3 so I hope to post a tutorial some day :D



All the motifs except the bracelet (I got the pattern from a Mexican jewelry magazine) were from japanese bead books, since it's hard for me to find the material here where I live I have not made many motifs, most of them use 3mm swarovski, czech beads.. etc.. and believe me, those beads are rare to find here in my city, even in the whole country Dx (once I went to buy some swarovski crystals I asked the woman who was selling them if she had 3mm bicones, she said "those doesn't even exist" and I was "lol")

Well.. for these I got the material from an australian online bead store and ebay xD (onyx beads)

Thnx for lookin' >.

Thanks in advance!
