A short time ago, I joined the Bead Society of NH.  They are a group that meets once a month usually with the purpose of one person teaching some kind of beading technique to everyone.  I’ve already learned that there are alot of very talented and experienced people in this group!  Many of them sell their work professionally and have created techniques for beadmaking that are amazing.  Needless to say, I am very excited to be a part of this group!

At the next meeting, we will be learning how to do various seed bead spirals.  This will be interesting and challenging for me as I have never really worked with seed beads before.  The choices are double spiral, rope spiral, dutch spiral and russian spiral.  Now my beading preferences have been toward larger beads like those we sell on our site so, I will definetely need to do some work ahead of time like learning the basic peyote stitch.  I’m really excited to try something new though and see how different and/or challenging it is.
