Description
trying to learn different, more common beading methods that what I did with animals up to now. this pic, as the title might imply
is what came of my first try using peyote stitch. anyways, changing from wire to thread is incredible - like, uh... can't think of an axample... like changing from an automatic car to one where you actually have to switch the gears, except, well.... that example sucks. and I have one word for you: timeconsuming. (which is probably written in two words, but what do I care)
but the design was done by me. not all too bad for a first, I guess.

I used to do beading only on the loom. got boring after a while, and the finished pieces only piled up in my room, so I transferred to bead animals. now that I'm pretty good with those, I want to go back to bead-and thread. there are tons of techniques I've never even known of until I discovered the awesome bead artists here on dA.

*looks up from the dubious remains of what was on the photo* you - uh - what? I um - am right now in the act of opening it all up again. I thought, I'd never wear it anyways, so I might as well reuse the beads... but uh - if you want to, I could remake it.
