    DIY: BEADWORK
    Beadwork is the art or craft of attaching beads to one another by
    stringing them with a sewing needle or beading needle and thread
    or thin wire, or sewing them to
    cloth. Beads come in a variety of
    materials, shapes and sizes. Beads
    are used to create jewelry or other articles of personal adornment;
    they are also used in wall hangings
    and sculpture and many other
    crafts.

    Modern beadwork is often used as


    a
    creative
    hobby
    to
    create jewelry, purses, coasters, and
    dozens of other crafts. Beads are
    available in many different designs,
    sizes, colors, and materials, allowing
    much variation among bead artisans
    and projects. Simple projects can be
    created in less than an hour by novice beaders, while complex beadwork
    may take weeks of meticulous work
    with specialized tools and equipment.

    Faience is a mixture of powdered clays and lime, soda and silica sand. Mix this
    with a little water to make a paste and molded
    around a small stick or bit of straw. Now it is
    ready to be fired into a bead. As the bead heats
    up the soda sand and lime melt into glass that
    incorporates and covers the clay. The result is a
    hard bead covered in bluish glass. This process
    was probably discovered first in Mesopotamia
    and then imported to Egypt. But, it was the
    Egyptians who made it their own art form. Since
    before the 1st dynasty of Narmer(3100 B.C.) to the last dynasty
    of the Ptolomies(33 B.C.) and to the present day, faience beads
    have been made in the same way.

    Beadwork in Europe has a history dating back millennia to a time when shells and animal bones
    were used as beads in necklaces.
    Glass beads were being made in Murano by the end of the 14th century. French beaded flowers
    were being made as early as the 16th century, and lampwork glass was invented in the 18th
    century. Seed beads began to be used for embroidery, crochet etc.

    Beadwork is a quintessentially Native American art form but, ironically,


    uses beads imported from Europe and Asia. Glass
    beads have been in use for almost five centuries in
    the Americas. Today a wide range of beading
    styles flourish. In the Great Lakes, Ursuline nuns
    introduced floral patterns to tribes who quickly
    applied them to beadwork. Great Lakes tribes are
    known for their bandolier bags that might take an entire year to complete. Huichol Indians of Jalisco and Nayarit, Mexico have a completely
    unique approach to beadwork. They adhere beads one by one to a surface such as wood or a gourd with a mixture of resin and beeswax.

    Most Native beadwork is created for tribal use, but beadworkers also
    create conceptual work for the art world.

    3D, or three-dimensional, beading is less common than 2D, or two-dimensional, beading largely
    because free 3D beading patterns are not widely available on the internet. Resources are
    scarce and difficult to find. It is mainly an East Asian art form, and most 3D beading resources are written in East Asian languages such as Japanese and Chinese, further impeding
    access for those in English-speaking countries. 3D beading is widely considered too complex
    for most beaders to manage although this sentiment is largely due to the apparent complexity
    of many Asian beading diagrams. It is a challenge for pattern designers to create 2D beading
    patterns that portray 3D beaded objects.
