Many Of The Styles And Sizes Involving Bead Work Assignments
Beadwork, quite literally, is anything made with beads. What initially comes to mind is jewelry, and maybe second is decorations on clothing. Wedding dresses are notorious for having beadwork on them. While jewelry is probably the first places we see beading utilised, it is not where the story ends.
For starters, don't assume that beading has to be a round bead. Anything with a hole in it, can be strung. Likely the first person to achieve this was using a rock or shell with a hole in it. Possibly the bone of a killed animal, to let others know of his prowess in the hunt. It wouldn't take very long for that to become a contest; who has the most kills. Thus stringing numerous on a line at once.
With each culture, the meaning may have been different, but the early process was similar. And this basic beadwork is prevalent in almost every culture all over the world. Over time, the means changed and the patterns became elaborate.
In today's society there is little that couldn't be produced with beads, though, some things would beg the question, "Why do you?" Whole purses can be seen made out of beads, shoes as well (though I don't imagine that is comfortable). You could, if you so desired, make a whole shirt from beads. This would be a long project and require the utmost persistence. Something smaller might be a cigarette case.
If you can dream it, you can bead it.
With the internet at your finger tips there is sufficient free tutorials and patterns to keep you busy and learning for a life time. There are not just patterns available for free, but instructional videos. There is no better teacher, of course, than experience. So dive in, there are no incorrect answers here!
