I love the look of beadweaving, and the more I see of it, the more I like it.
My favorite artist right now is Patrizia Tager, from Israel.
Here's a necklace in her etsy shop right now -
I really love the "rope" look to it
Maybe I can learn this technique by making bangles, and see if I enjoy it. You've got to take pleasure in what you do! It looks like some equipment is needed. A loom? If anyone can give me pointers, I'd really appreciate it.
Here's some examples on Etsy, of different kinds of bangles.
This is an interesting one, with memory wire byMariannes :
I know memory wire bracelets are popular - I made two while sitting at a craft show, and they both sold that day!
saraaies crocheted a bangle with felt and beads:
AnnieandOlive covered beads with fabric (I hope that's right):
And then there's the seed bead bangles.
These bracelets look soft (is this seed beads on nylon rope?), by suburbanstash:
This bangle by singingbeads was hand crocheted- not sure what she used as a base, but I love the look.
And this traditional Native American bangle, created by beaglebeads, is with a beautiful diamond design

Beautiful bracelets! I attempted to use memory wire once...not good results.
Such gorgeous work! Thanks for sharing your finds!
Triz is by far one of, if not the most talented bead weaving artist I have ever known. I was looking somewhere else today and saw that piece you have in the first photo.
If I am not mistaken, she is totally self-taught.

thank you for featuring my Pretty in Pink Choker! :-) and for your kind words!!! :-) the only equipment needed for this choker is a crochet hook... I corchetted it using large beads and waxed cord
thanks for sharing, triz. Wow, it is beautiful. Can't imagine following a pattern for that. Wow!
Wow, gorgeous work. I'm all thumbs, can't do stuff like that & greatly admire those that do.
I forgot to mention in previous comment, as it was late at night :-)... but the turquoise piece on the left that I'm wearing I made following a Sherry Serafini pattern - it's not my design - the piece is beadembroidered :-)
That turquoise necklace at the top is absolutely stunning!
Story - let me know if you want any more information about bead-weaving! I love doing it - and I'm self-taught :D And no, I don't use a loom. :)
I love these! I have seen Triz's work--it is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing these pieces with us.
Great stuff! I've tried it but my fingers are too dumb to hold onto the tiny tiny beads let alone get needles thru them and weaving...
I can't get over that necklace- its amazing!

Great post and some of my favorite beaders. Did you change your blog?
I'm a fan of Triz's work as well. Her work is amazing!
And good luck to you with your bead exploration! :)
