DIFFERENT TYPE OF BEADING

What is beading ?
Beading is attaching beads to one another, to cloth or any other form of materials. Usually using needle with thread, wire, mono-filament (commonly known as transparent thread). Finished beadwork can be in the form of jewellery, bags, shoes, clothes, sculputre and ornament.....
Techniques available:
There are bead knitting, bead crochet, bead stringing, beadweaving (off-loom), loom and bead embroidery.
Bead Knitting & Bead Crochet



Bead Stringing & Beadweaving using mono-filament



Beadweaving or Off-Loom Beading & Bead Embroidery


As I have tried all the above techniques, my passion is beadweaving or off-loom beading. With my patience and love, these tiny beads can be transformed into work of art! Be it wearable or non-wearable.


I will be introducing what's the right tools to use in beadweaving soon, come back soon =)
