Beading fun

Since one of the women in our weaving group introduced me to beading, I have been having a great time playing around with beads. Because of my knee, I am not very active at the moment, so I can sit back in my chair and thread beads in all sorts of styles. There were some more, but I gave them away before I photographed them.

One pattern, three wraps

The first one - I am keeping it for myself!

The second one - requested by one of  my weaving friends. And I had a lot of dyed wool left over from the first one

My favourite. Dyed in bright sunny colours for my daughter for Christmas.

These three wraps all have handspun and hand dyed warps. It took quite a while to work out what colours I wanted, and where they should go in relation to others. But I think they worked well.
