My first experiments were horrific, but the brilliant thing with beads, they're reusable unlike fabric.coffeeaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08719243899202995984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995263611532471052.post-88137072220010749232011-08-04T21:29:26.825+02:002011-08-04T21:29:26.825+02:00The strawberry beads are adorable!

To that extent I have tried my hand at weaving, just the basics like peyote and brick stitch but when the time is right, I will really immerse myself in weaving. Oh, and yes, do send a link to the tutorial :-)coffeeaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08719243899202995984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995263611532471052.post-35467907033883514642011-08-02T14:00:19.019+02:002011-08-02T14:00:19.019+02:00Awesome tutorial!

I'm more of a weaver so I like to make them wit a little beaded string in between. I found a way to make the beads and create the beaded strand all in one piece without having to end each bead and restring. I made up a little tutorial for a friend on how to do it if you are interested, just let me know! I love the little strawberries!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995263611532471052.post-41863264988548725682011-08-02T10:23:38.749+02:002011-08-02T10:23:38.749+02:00Sorry everyone for keepimg this brief, but I'm...Sorry everyone for keepimg this brief, but I'm currently at a public library, because our PC broke down yesterday :-( Also apologies for any typos.<br /><br />Mette: this sort of work might be tedious for some but for me it's like yoga, it relaxes and focuses me.
