I want to make a blanket made out of squares with different images. Is it possible to choose a square instead of the number of stitches? And then to choose the same square every time I upload a picture?
Hi there everyone,
My real name is De'Andrea and I started working with beads when I was 19, a long long time ago. I didn't stay with it picking up beading again in the 1990s (told you it was a very long time ago). Made quite a few beaded necklaces and earrings back in the '90s that I sold to local folks and for my family and friends. Back then I didn't work in peyote, brick stitch or straight stitch, off or on loom. When I was 19 I wanted to make my sister beaded hatband in a southwest design for her birthday which was 2 weeks after mine. She had bought a beading book on Native American designs and techniques for my birthday present. I only had money to buy the beads, used my Mom's sewing thread and worked with them til I figured out my way of off loom straight stitch where I sewed down 2 beads at a time instead of 1 at a time like traditional straight stitch.
I didn't stick with beading in the '90s either mainly due to work and life happening. Now after a 25+ yr hiatus I am back to my first love of beading. I still work full time for a few more yrs, except now I have a 4 on & 4 off work schedule which allows me more time to bead. A friend of mine got me back into beading again when he found out I used to bead. He commissioned me to create a beaded vulture for him. Ok, I know vultures are not on very many folks list as an ideal subject to have hanging on their walls. My friend Jim loves vultures for the contribution they do for the world with helping clean it up.
Jim lives in New Mexico and hand makes & sells small wooden tapestry looms and tools. He collects vulture memorabilia and wanted something special to add to it in beads. I worked up the vulture in peyote with the edges worked in brick stitch to make the curves and beak work out. It is a shaped peyote piece 9"X6". Now I am working on the background that is being made on my large Mirrix tapestry loom. It will be 20" wide by at least 17" high. Once it is finished I will applique the peyote vulture to the bottom right corner of it. Jim merely wanted a 5"X5" vulture head beaded piece. Me, I didn't think that would do the vulture justice and decided to create this "monster" of a tapestry for him. I have been working on the project since last fall and hopefully will be done with it this summer.
My non beading life consists of my hubby of 39 yrs, 1 son & daughter-n-law who live in Alaska, my 5 Grandkitties, Grandhamster and Grandchinchilla. I have dogs & parrots kids now.
Line,
These are really cute!
I think you should make
them...you can match the colors to your decor! And they'd be perfect for
keeping beverages from staining your table.
How is school going? I hope all is well with you!
Remember the guy we know with the husky? Spoke to his mom today and she said the dog was destroying everything.
So, sadly, he ultimately
couldn't train the dog as he needed to, so the dog is now with a
friend of his who hopefully has more time and patience to work with
him and train him properly.
I'm not surprised, and nothing against the guy...I think someone has to be really, really special (like you!) to have the right amount of patience
to train a husky. I know I couldn't do it!
Hugs!

Secoya,
Oooh, thanks for the
recommendation! It sounds like an amazing book. I truly
believe one can never be too rich, too thin or have too many
pattern books!
