At the weekend I went with two beading buddies to a delightful exhibition of beadweaving and bead embroidery at an art Gallery in country Victoria. If you have a chance do pop by. My only niggle was the lack of consistent signage that told us the story of each piece - who made, when and how. My favourite piece was a vintage bead embroidery bracelet made from the tiniest beads you have ever seen - probably size 24/0. I would have loved to know about it's maker and it's history.
Brilliant Beads at the Art Gallery of Ballarat (Victoria, Australia) is presented by the Ballarat Branch of the Embroiderers Guild of Victoria as part of its 50th Anniversary.
Dates: Thursday, 6 May 2010 - Sunday, 4 July 2010

Great article thanks for sharing.
Check out this beading Ebook. I bought it a few months ago and I am really happy that I have it to use as a valuable beading resource. I wanted to share this beading guide with every other bead lover out there
Here's the link where I found this Beading Ebook:

Thanks Stacy for the comment and for sharing the book link - off to have a look now.
It is interesting to see work and to work with smaller and smaller beads. I am down to 15/0 and can't imagine anyting smaller. 24/0 - microscope required?
