Some Of The Size And Shapes Of Bead Work Projects
Beadwork, literally, can be anything created using beads. What initially strikes is jewelry, and perhaps second is adornments on apparel. Wedding dresses are famous for having beadwork on them. While jewelery might be the first places we see beading utilized, it is not where the story ends.
First of all, don't think that beading needs to be a round bead. Anything with a hole in it, could be strung. Most likely the very first person to get this done was using a rock or shell with a hole inside. Maybe the bone of a dead animal, to let other people know about his power in the hunt. It wouldn't take very long for that to turn into a contest; who has the most kills. Hence stringing several on a line at the same time.
With each culture, the definition may have been totally different, but the early practice was similar. And this fundamental beadwork is prevalent in every culture around the world. Eventually, the means changed and the patterns became complex.
In today's modern society there is nothing that couldn't be produced with beads, although, some things would ask the question, "Why would you?" Whole purses can be found made out of beads, footwear also (though I don't believe that is comfortable). You could, if you so desired, make an entire shirt from beads. This would be a long project and need the utmost patience. Something smaller could be a cigarette case.
If you can dream it, it is possible to bead it.
With the web at your finger tips there is certainly sufficient free courses and patterns to keep you busy and learning for a lifetime. There are not only designs available for free, but video tutorials. There is no better instructor, obviously, than experience. So dive in, there are no incorrect answers here!
