My Best Student Ever! :)




These two bracelets were beadwoven by my 14.5 years old daughter, and I am so proud of her!
She has always been fascinated by my beadwork and recently asked me to teach her a few things. I thought basic herringbone and even-count peyote would be a good start.
I think she did a great job, not only with choosing these colors, but also with the quality of her first beadwoven creations.
She is now able to look at my work and say what technique I used. Next techniques I am going to teach her are the tubular versions of the above. I am pretty sure she will quickly have a firm grasp of them, too.
I am a happy mother! :)

My first freeform beaded bracelet


My First Freeform Beaded Bracelet

I had so much fun making it! I first discovered the joy of beading this way, without almost no limitations - my own free design.
So, this is my first freeform work.

Few weeks later, I made the bracelet i first intended to make.
It was quite boring to make. The main work included nothing but counting and threading the specific number of beads and switching colors of every loop, as they crossed from side to side of the bracelet.., but I still like it.
