How They're Made

I take a sign with me to conventions that is similar to this. The purpose of that sign is to get people to stop and look closer at my items so that they can really appreciate the unique little works of art that they are! At conventions I often get mistaken for selling over priced shrinky dinks and people will walk away loudly exclaiming how expensive I am. I want people to understand that bead weaving is very time consuming and requires a ridiculous amount of patience. I completely assemble the keychains from 3 different sized split rings and chain. I also create the necklaces from a large spool of cotton cord, fold over cord ends, industrial strength E6000 glue, jump rings, and a lobster claw clasp. Every single Miyuki Delica seed bead is individually woven into place with a needle and thermally bonded bead weaving thread. Bead weaving creates a finished piece of work that is both flexible, durable, and double sided.
