Since I am a header and I love peyote bead weaving I thought this might be a good topic. <br /><br />I wonder what the Indians used for beads before the arrival of glass beads in the 1800's.<br /><br />Thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334804292075099312.post-88695307359086857532013-10-24T00:20:26.400+11:002013-10-24T00:20:26.400+11:00You picked beautiful beads to use for jewelry, and...You picked beautiful beads to use for jewelry, and your color combinations are inspired by the earthy colors of myrrh, and balsam is so pretty! <br /><a href="http://beadinspirations.com/alameda-store-ezp-2.html" rel="nofollow">oakland jewelry making classes</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06386078449550720592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334804292075099312.post-43004706767686212392013-01-06T21:05:28.268+11:002013-01-06T21:05:28.268+11:00Sounds fabulously intensive!

As a personal lover of all things sparkly (hello rhinestones!) you can count the majority of my beadwork to be outside of the realm of sophistication.

I think your list is a good start on the things to look for.<br />I note that, when presenting the Elly Feldman award at the BSV Expo, Elly has mentioned the same thing, several times. I wonder if we would get more entries to the competition if requirements for what makes 'good' beadwork were more clearly understood by BSV members.<br />I really like that bracelet by the way!The Social Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12571061371459056186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334804292075099312.post-61117241713295094612012-07-10T23:41:34.575+10:002012-07-10T23:41:34.575+10:00I think the beading deserves you more than the hou...I think the beading deserves you more than the housework!!!<br />Happy beading.

I built the software so the cards print on regular paper and you can fold them up and tape the sides to protect the backside after you sew on the beads. <br /><br />Also, when you purchase new beads, you can print *just* the new beads onto cards, rather than having to re-bead everything. <br /><br />I'll confess I don't actually use them. Once I get the beads entered in the software and labeled, I just want to bead! ;) But I do always carry and refer to what I call my "takewith" lists, for all my seed beads, so I don't keep buying the same color and size over and over. I suppose the sample cards would serve the same purpose even better. <br /><br />So thanks for the mention. I hope you'll try out the free demo! Feedback is always welcome at the forum, linked from the BeadEnCounter website.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13525135972821441656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334804292075099312.post-4758136038676406442012-03-06T09:34:02.253+11:002012-03-06T09:34:02.253+11:00Thanks Megan - I am pleased with it too...
