Mastering Beadwork

About 3 months after I stared learning how to make beaded jewelry, I got bit by the bead weaving bug and didn't know where to turn. I went into one of my usual bead joints, Nomadic Notions, and asked for help. They pointed me in the direction of "Mastering Beadwork: A Comprehensive Guide to Off-loom Technique" by Carol Huber Cypher.  The tutorials are easy to follow and she eliminates points of question..."did she mean this? Did she mean that?"  Very easy to follow.













While I'm still perfecting my skills and won't claim being a "master"', thanks to Carol, I learned many stitches...

Netting, so many different things you can do with this stitch.  I did this bracelet or rather a modified version of this bracelet twice...sold one and couldn't bare to part with the other...yet!   I've gone on to learn the various stitches from peyote to the African Helix Stitch to Right Angle Weave (RAW) and the Daisy Chain.

So, if you are just beginning your beadweaving journey, "Mastering Beadwork" by Carol Huber Cypher is a great place to start!

Happy Beading!
