Video Tutorials

Recently, a few beaders wrote to me, telling about their first steps in the beadweaving world. This reminded me of my own first steps, when as a self-taught beader, I used to spend long hours on trying to learn the basic techniques, until I had grasped them. I never attended any workshop as a student because I couldn't afford them, so I mostly learned from illustration.
Just a few years later, when I started teaching other beaders, I realized that for some people illustrations and graphs are very difficult to follow.
Workshops are the best way to learn beadweaving, but if one, for any reason, can't attend them, there are still ways to learn without having to follow illustrations - video tutorials on the internet. I found a whole section of them (as well as articles and SBS instructions) on Auntie's Beads site. I watched some of them and I think they are great. So if you are a beader and you can't use illustrations, you might find these very helpful...

While I was browsing Auntie's Beads site, I also found these Awareness pink beads. Aren't they beautiful?
