@tsummerlee What would the material consist of..would you have to sew through a silicon backing? If you ever do a video, can you please send me a mail alert? Only thing, the others I've seen are with glued Swaroski...but if peyote stich, you couldn't remove it (battery etc.) or skip for side buttons etc.. I'd like our Native designs on mine but don't know what to do. Any suggestions or a vid would be prime! Thank you for your lessons, they are invaluable.
@hwiseman1 I wouldn't cover the actual phone, and I see what you mean about a silicone cover...wouldn't work. However, I'm thinking you could use silicone glue to adhere a few things to a silicone cover. That might work.
I just watched this again and finally got it. I'm having trouble because I have to do a peyote stone that I cannot add a backing because it is going on a bracelet after and it would not look good. I'm getting so frustrated because I know how to do peyote just not in the round that well so I'm trying to bead around the first row. Any suggestions Guru ? Hehe. Oh mighty one. just kidding. you are great tho I know people do it all the time, I'm very frustrated and want to get this bracelet done.
@debthebeader No, not yet. I can't really look until I have the money for a security deposit, 'n stuff. I'll be looking by the end of the month, though. My poor neighbor lady is super upset about it. She has two kids and really loves it here.
You are awesome! I have been beading since I was a kid without professional training (Alas!) And I did simple peyote, never around a cabochon. You have become my teacher on here, I've already made some fan earrings and I've just bought three oval cabochons but I don't know the sizes :( I hope I'll work it out fine, thanks to you :)
Very nice method. Bead and Button Mag. site has a method that's a lot like this, but you cull through your beads and find the thinnest beads in the mix. My Toho size 11 beads always have a small collection of abnormally thin forms mixed into the vial.
Like your pattern, sew through 2 beads without adding one. The next row use one or two thin beads in that space. Then the third row sew through the one or two thin beads. Then add one normal bead in that space when stitching the fourth row.
@MiXueLe I've yet to find any "thin forms" in any of my Toho collections. I could sure use them sometimes! What you're describing is a "gradual decrease." Because the curve was pretty severe on this handmade cab, I chose the "severe decrease" method.
@wanda840 Increasing is accomplished by adding two beads in a space instead of one. I've got a tut, slash, rant on it, made during an unfortunate weekend in our nation's history.
Cheaper beads aren't standardized well: for us in Hungary will be only sold beads, which are very diverse (although they will be sold as the same type in the same bundle) -- but these are all second-rate products, so I don't have to be worry about not to find beads of diverse sizes in one bundle. :)
@Aveszedelem Yeah, I know, but I'll bet you can buy Czech hanks cheaper than I can! Czech beads are awesome for all kinds of things, even for lots of weaving projects.
Here's a way to remember: Quality Japanese seed beads never (NEVER) come on a hank. (or temporarily strung). They're always sold loose. Czech seedbeads are sold on a hank, but can also be sold loose. If the beads are strung when sold, they're Czech beads.
@tsummerlee Hi tsummerlee, have you ever tried the website stoklasa? I did not try it yet, because there is a minimal limit for the worth of buying, but shure, You can find there Czech beads (it's a Czech wholesale site). I don't think, ordering from them would be more expensive, as an order from an other internet-store.
@tsummerlee Sounded like your smoke detector was low on batteries... I went to check my own before I realized that the "chirp" sound was coming from my laptop, not down my hall.... LOL
@tsummerlee Thanks a lot, I would appreciate it. My main problem now is that I don't have glue dots and quite small bead, so the beadwork slips and then I can't find the space where to step up. I am going to try with different coloured beads for each row for now so I won't get lost so often.
Excellent idea. That way you'll be able to see exactly where you need to go for the step up, which can be hard to see if you're not sure what you're looking at.
@Grizabela Same principle as skipping where you would usually put a bead to reduce, put 2 in periodically to widen your work. Remember to keep your work even counted in order to step up properly.
Love the tutorial! Nice to know you can do it will all 11-o's....I cant get 15-o's where I live and I have been dying to do this!! Thanks...and ps- its even better because you are hilarious....I would have done it to piss her off too:) hahaha
thanks a mill :)

Stupid question: how do add a bead? When the thing that you are beading around widens. Thanks a lot.
Grizabela 2 years ago
That's a good question. I don't do a whole lot of increasing, but the process involves adding two beads in a space. I may do a tut on it.

Is the beading foundation your using Lacy's Stiff Stuff?
radguynotallthrashed 2 years ago
Nope! I use heavy craft interfacing from the fabric store (and at Walmart). Way cheaper than Lacy's and works just as well, if not better.
