Hi, I am a long time beader and have just found this group. Looks like I can enjoy being here. My two most recent beading books are available through amazon.com They are :Pristine's Beaded Alive: A Natural Beginning and Pristine's Beaded Beauties: Wolves, Bats, and Other Critters of Travel. Both of these books focus on Peyote stitch. Beaded Beauties has a detailed how to section. Would love to know what you guys think if any of you look them over.
Welcome! Both those books look great! I don't have them, but looked them up on Amazon. I like Peyote, but boy do I have a hard time following a pattern.
I hope you'll share some pictures of your work!
Welcome to our fun group Didnt look at the books but i not much on doing seed beads but i too would love seeing your work and extent a hand of friends hip to you Smile Victoria
Hi from another Alaskan beader. Where in Alaska are you? I'm in Fairbanks.
Welcome.
Tina
Welcome!
Hi Tina, I am in Fairbanks also. I own one Pristine's. The beadstore on Peger Road. Come visit.
Jerri, you might like Beaded Beauties. I included word charts as well as the traditional visual pattern. My customers that were having a hard time following charts went wild over these patterns, Because they could do them easily! Joan
Oh, Hi Joan,
Welcome. You should post a few links to pictures of your gorgeous beadwork. (Put ad in the subject line if you link to your store, other than in your signature).
Folks, this lady runs our LBS (Local Bead Store). We probably get most of our supplies on line, but, you know, there is no substitute for a well stocked local store. We'd be in deep doo doo without them.
This lady also teaches at the university and all sorts of other things. And she's got gorgeous rocks too. Come on, Joan, tell them about yourself.
Now that summer is done, I have to focus on getting everything done outside (as opposed to Outside) to get ready for winter. But in another couple of weeks, my focus, not to mention comfort, will be indoors and on beading again.
