The Numerous Sizes And Shapes Involving Bead Work Stuff
Beadwork, quite literally, can be anything made with beads. What first strikes is jewelery, and probably second is adornments on clothing. Wedding dresses are well-known for having beadwork on them. While jewelery is probably one of the first places we see beading utilized, it is not where the story stops.
To begin with, don't think that beading has to be a round bead. Anything with a hole in it, can be strung. Most likely the first man to get this done was making use of a rock or shell with a hole inside. Maybe the bone of a killed animal, to let others know about his prowess in the hunt. It wouldn't take long for that to turn into a contest; who has the best kills. Therefore stringing several on a line at once.
With each culture, the meaning may have been totally different, but the early process was the same. And this fundamental beadwork is customary in every culture around the world. Over time, the means changed and the patterns became elaborate.
In today's modern society there is little that couldn't be made with beads, although, some particular things would ask the question, "Why would you?" Whole purses can be seen made out of beads, shoes also (though I don't imagine that is comfortable). You could, if you so wanted, make an entire shirt from beads. That would certainly be a long project and need the utmost patience. Something smaller might be a cigarette case.
If you can dream it, you can bead it.
With the web at your finger tips there is enough free courses and patterns to keep you occupied and learning for a lifetime. There are not only patterns available for free, but instructional videos.
