Jewellery and Ex-Beading Accessories

Jewellery and femininity go hand in hand. Whenever and wherever a lady adorns herself with jewellery, there is a hint of a smile and a glint in her eyes. This is so because every piece of jewellery she wears makes her feel good and beautiful. And this shine and glint in her eyes and in her smile is well captured and reflected in the beads of her ear pieces, in the pendant on her cleavage, in the finery around her wrists and in every piece of trinket she wears.

But did you ever wonder how each of these pieces of jewellery, that which reflects and enhances a woman's beauty and elegance, is made? How each bead is carefully chosen and set inside a lavaliere with the help of various kinds of ex beading accessories? Well, each piece of jewellery has a story to itself. It covers a long journey while it is manufactured, before it enters the shops, and then after careful consideration by the sales person and the customers, they start off another story.

Each bead and each gem in a jewellery is chosen meticulously. There are a wide variety of ex beading accessories. There is a different accessory for various kinds of activities. There is a very fine reamer that designs pearls. Another tool, often used by jewelers is tweezer and shovel combo. There is a round nose plier which is used for making loops. Apart from these, there are various other ex beading accessories that are used by goldsmith and other jewellery makers.

Beading For Beginners

Beading For Beginners

How many of you have gone to a party and seen some other women with stunning beaded jewelleries and accessories that you so much wanted? And when you ask where they got them from, the reply was that they made it themselves?

Wow! I can still remember the first time in university when I checked into a hostel and met my room mate. She came from China and had this collection of tibetan beaded accessories, strings and strings of them! She almost had a necklace, bracelet, earrings and more for every imaginable occasion. I practically had to beg her for some pieces when I'm off for parties! Not only that, she had a beaded coaster, beaded bags, and even beaded shoes! So one day I asked her: how did you do all these?

It turned out she had an aunt who was into the DIY business of sewing, beading and embroidery, and it was this aunt who taught her all the basics of beading which she eventually made a habit out of. I got her to teach me some basics, and from then on I simply couldn't stop beading!

Every start is difficult, I know, and without someone beside you correcting your every mistake, precious time will be wasted exploring all the possibilities and precious money will be wasted buying the wrong materials for your project.

This book I'm going to introduce to you - "Beading For Beginners", has everything you need to know about starting to bead. It contains very detailed explanations of the kinds of string, wire, thread, beads, colours, everything! that you will find yourself asking about.

I showed it to my room mate one day. It was in English, her second language. Yet she could explain to me everything that was in there, because the pictures were so clear! I have been practising my beading for two years, and now when I go for parties I am able to proudly wear matching necklaces and bracelets, all carefully beaded by me. If I can do it, with this book you will be an amateur beader in no time too.

Glass Beads

Glass beads present an artistic spectrum of beauty with value. They come in vibrant colors, shape and finishes, and add a magical touch to the product. There are different types of glass beads like Czech glass beads, handmade dichroic glass, Millefiori, lamp work beads and even bumpy glass beads. They are available in different colors and sizes which artisans pick up to complete their canvas.

These beads are sometimes given different types of fancy finishes like Aurora Borealis or druk glass. Where druk glass beads are perfectly rounded and optically polished, multi-colored lamp work bead strands are in shapes ranging from fishes to twisted ovals. Luminous dichroic glass is another bead type which comes in a multitude of shapes. Then there are crackle glass beads. Czech glass beads with a pearl finish are great values because of the high quality and tremendous variety in colors, sizes and shapes.

Since glass becomes molten when heated to a certain temperature, glass artists can create any shape as well as layers, while holding the glass over a flame. A bead with raised decorations, bumps, dots, sparkly feathering, with foil inside or other applied decoration, is most likely a lamp-work bead. Many glass artists produce unbelievably complicated beautiful collectors' items in glass. The rainbow of colors and textures of beads available today gives infinite design ideas. The number of beads per strand and strands per hank depends on the size and weight of the beads.

There are glass pearls, art glass beads and cane glass beads. You can find glass pearls in all shapes. Glass beads are expensive compared to other beads but enhance the beauty of the product. They can also be added with embroidery pattern or used with sequins as well. A transparent glass bead has the tendency to reflect the base color and can be beautifully used with any color.

Bead and Crystal Handicrafts

Hello there all beadcraft lovers!

I've been into the bead crafting, weaving, and designing business for quite some time now. From the very beginning, I designed my own pieces of accessories, ranging from handphone straps, keychains, card holders, miniature standalone pieces, sets, and more... But as time wears on, I realised that more people in my area are looking for existing designs that they've probably seen somewhere else. Sure, new and unique pieces do sell, but people still like age-old designs like animals and flowers.

With that in mind, I searched around for patterns and designs that I can use. Craft books are limited in designs and they are often repetitive. Ranging from necklaces to bracelets, there isn't very many things that they teach. It is so difficult to find designs that I've hovered around handicraft shops, trying to cram into my head the little details of each piece on display without attracting the suspicion of shopkeepers!

The internet was another option. The vast amounts of information on the internet was overwhelming at first, but after days of reading the same content over and over again, I decided enough was enough. It is just getting so hard to find something new out there, yet I know there are alot of new things out there to discover!

If you have been there and done that, you've come to the right place at last. I've originally set up this blog for the sole purpose of throwing all my research information at a common location for future reference. But now, I'm going to compile all of them here for your information and viewing pleasure!
