Hello Happy Beaders, Hoping You are Healthy and Centered!
Alot of sad and unbelievable stuff going on in the world right now. I Lived in Michigan during the Detroit Riots. My dad had been a photographer then and.he was there taking photos. Its a very explosive time right now.
. Let's talk about Peyote. Peyote is usually one of the first stitches that everyone learns. It is probably one of the most widely used. You can use any bead and any size. Some of the projects use seed beads, and others cylinder beads. It can be done Tubular, Flat, Sculptural, Circular Flat, and combined with other stitches. There's things like stitch in the ditch, increasing, decreasing, edging, embellishing, reading a graph,layered, shaped,one two or three drop, even count, odd count, step up, and more. You can learn all these techniques with our kits. If you are not sure what level you are on please email or call. We will be happy to assist you .
In my opinion what makes a project a beginner project, it is usually one or two different weaving techniques in a piece with alot of repetition. . Like Dogwood uses 10/o cylinders, so it is a bigger bead, and then there is just a little bit on putting on the clasp. The projects get more complicated, it there are many techniques, and if each step is something different. When there are places where you need to know how to count rows, move around etc.. Most of which is experience gained from doing. If you are newer to beading and get a kit we can include a tutorial on how to do the stitch or parts involved so you can review and practice. Just let us know. As soon as I can, when I am full time Beads Gone Wild, we will have tutorials on you tube that can help you as well.
I am in the process of recategoriing everything now so the skill level will be serchable, as well as all techniques. Make it a great day! Glenda
