Beads!



One of my favorites crafts is embroidery, but the one that stole my heart was bead embroidery.
At one point in my life I decided to go back to school and take sewing classes at college. As a part of the course, I had to take a bead embroidery class. It was my favorite class ever. I already knew how to embroidered with stem stitch, but I had never tried embroidering with beads. 

I started experimenting with round and tubes beads, little pearls, sequins and ribbons. I learned how to use this technique from simple napkins or handkerchief to a cathedral wedding veil.

These are samples I made in college




I hope this will awaken your curiosity on embroidery that its an art expression that can be done in different ways.
