Beading

[kistha]

rhienelleth has just discovered the joys and heartaches ($$$) of beading. She's sucked shadawyn in (or back in) and we were talking about getting together and talking about it at Writer's Weekend sometime - preferably before they want to be in any panels and I have to start working at the conference. So far we don't have a schedule, but since it's mostly me that doesn't know, I have no one to blame but myself. I'm hoping to know soon.

Anyhoo, one of the things rhienelleth mentioned is having us bring stuff we've done. Sounds like a good idea. Then I looked around and realized that I have basically nothing. I have one embroidery piece I did for dthon and I have a feather piece I beaded for myself and another for dthon. So three things - but dthon's is packed.

Still, that leaves (out of several *years* of beading) exactly 1 thing I've beaded for myself that I've kept. All of the necklaces, bracelets, rosaries, and such that I've made I've given away. All of it.

I guess usually don't make something unless I'm making it for someone else.

Weird.

PS - and yes, I did have to make a beading icon. It's not bad for a quick throw together.

May I join in the beading discussion? Like you, I don't have many examples of my work, but I do have a cloth doll whose bedlah I beaded.

(and i like the icon)

Sure! I think I may pack my beading stuff and drag it along.

As soon as there's a plan (if there ever *is* a plan) I'll let you know!

And if it happens randomly, I'll be sure to grab you.

(And you can steal the icon if you like - just credit)

I haven't even MADE anything yet, but I'm still interested in discussion and chatting :D

You've got two weeks. Make something :D

If somewhere in all this copious free time I get an idea, and so on, I'll try and spit something out.

Mostly I'm getting buried under WW prep.

A beading icon! I am jealous!

Wow, that is odd that out of years of stuff, you've given it all away but three things. Of course, that just goes to show what a generous person you are. :)

Icon is steal-able. (Just credit please, 'cause I like to keep score)

Generous, or psychotic, who knows?

I may borrow back the woven one.

If I remember correctly, the other was a magic thingy, and you should keep it.

Hee... I actually went into a bead shop this weekend. I used to be into it but have been resisting its siren-call for years now. But then I go in and see they have classes for chain-mail jewelry making. Oh wibble. I do NOT need any more sedentary hobbies. sigh.
