The Beadweavers' creations are different from many of the traditional beaded items, in that they are woven from hundreds or thousands of tiny beads to create intricate designs and pictures. These weavings take the form of both art and jewelry. Each piece takes many hours to complete, with some larger pieces taking weeks or even monthsJoanneZammithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03381563815815917932noreply@blogger.comBlogger421125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913931284385207251.post-15264124086459652452017-08-03T07:54:00.002-07:002017-08-03T07:56:49.001-07:00We have moved!This wonderful team is evolving and reaching for new horizons! Etsy is an amazing platform for web selling and developing a brand, yet the internet is widespread, and ripe for the taking. Our caterpillar of a group has come out of its chrysalis and is stretching its new wings.<br />

The International Beadweavers unite beaders across the globe, covering
many linguistic, creative and historical territories. With challenges,
activities, and soon, Embassies settled on various websites and social
areas, we hope to bring a network of beading resources as well as web
selling tips and tricks to our members, all the while bringing
beadweaving as an art-form to the forefront of modern fashions. Formally, we were focused on acquiring success on Etsy, but now our goal is to come together as beadweavers, no matter which online selling platform we prefer.<br />
<br />
Thank you to everyone who has founded, elevated, participated and made the Etsy BeadWeavers the amazing team is has become. This is not an end, the next stage of life for our group begins now! <br />

<b>You seem to have a real passion for beadweaving and bead embroidery. What first brought you to the world of beading?</b><br />
My mother's good friend and art-therapist, Berthy Bijlard, introduced
me to beads and cross-stitching when I was about 14 or so. I continued
to do cross-stitching because it was easy to find that material. Only as
an adult, I got comptelely hooked on beadweaving with seed beads and
bead embroidery. That was in 2004, when I saw the beautiful Bead Dreams
contest pieces. Before I even could buy beads, I drew my own "Dream
piece", and searched the web to learn everything from the materials to
all the techniques. Where I am living there was nobody doing this, no
shops, no workshops, nothing. There was also no translation for these
things in French either. Eventually, I learned the basics and evolved by
learning to solve problems by myself.<br />

<b>I understand you are a bit of an expert at Diamond Weave. You
even wrote a book in collaboration with the inventor of the stitch. Is
this your favorite stitch?</b><br />
All stitches have their advantages and for that, I love them all.
However, some please me more than others. If I had to choose only one
stitch to bead with, I'd have a hard time chosing between Peyote stitch,
my first & much loved stitch, and Diamond Weave. There is so much
one can do with DW and still so much to discover with it.<br />
<br />
<b>What are your favorite subjects when designing your pieces? You
seem to draw inspiration from both the natural and geometric worlds.</b><br />
Mother Nature and Geometrics are indeed my main inspiration. My left
brain is the control freak attraceted by geometrics and my right brain
is a poet in love with nature's splendor and all living beings. I try to
marry the two of them, which is much harder than you may think. I
essentially want to speak with beads (because I like to tell stories) in
a way that blends geometric and organic, like the flaming cuff Embers,
or the leaf that can be seen in my necklace "The Leaf" created in
negative space thanks to the little Trapezino bezels. I am also quite
happy with my petal to pod creations, like Neytiri's and a piece made
for a charity, the Jane Goodall Pendant. I also like bead embroidery
for it allows the use of a variety of non-beady materials which can also
be very inspiring, like the images, metal stamps and perfume bottle
used in "Seduction".<br />

<b>What made you move on from beading to selling and finally teaching and tutorial writing?</b><br /> In
2006, I subscribed to a francophone forum. It appeared that in the seed
beads section there wasn't as much to learn as I hoped, but that I had
knowledge to transmit. I was particularly active in the hints and tips
section, which resulted in some beaders calling me the "MacGyver" of
beading (LOL!). I didn't sell patterns back then, I just wrote simple
tuts and shared them for free, which allowed me to learn how to use
software to explain things. I wish that tutorials for tutorial writing
had been available back then, but I developed my own style, which imho
is not so bad. The first pattern that I wrote "for sale" in 2009 was in
fact a complimentary pattern I sent to each person donating for charity
when the Fukushima disaster happened. Only when I had to stop working
for health reasons and my income dropped significantly, I decided to
sell tuts to pay for beady supplies.<br />

<b>Your piece "Souls" is incredible (and I must admit, the
tutorial is on my wish list!) You describe it as the most mindful pieces
you've ever beaded; can you tell us a bit more?</b><br /> Thank you!
Souls is very special. It is an allegory of the walk of life or lives,
and one of my first 'petal to pod' creations. I think that my left and
right brain did a great job together. It tells the story of souls, which
never die, but go <span class="m_8491664813681935029fbPhotosPhotoCaption" id="m_8491664813681935029fbPhotoSnowliftCaption"><span class="m_8491664813681935029hasCaption">through
stages of development. I made pods with a rainbow of colors on the
inside. A soul is in a body like a seed resides in a pod, and gets
liberated when time has come. The colors are the chakras we have in us,
like a rainbow, a stairway to heaven. <span class="m_8491664813681935029text_exposed_show">Here and there a soul falls out of its pod, sometimes it is too much in the green or blue or red zone... </span></span></span><span class="m_8491664813681935029fbPhotosPhotoCaption" id="m_8491664813681935029fbPhotoSnowliftCaption"><span class="m_8491664813681935029hasCaption"><span class="m_8491664813681935029text_exposed_show"><span class="m_8491664813681935029fbPhotosPhotoCaption" id="m_8491664813681935029fbPhotoSnowliftCaption"><span class="m_8491664813681935029hasCaption"><span class="m_8491664813681935029text_exposed_show">Each color is of equivalent importance. To become enlightened, every step needs to be made, experienced. Therefor necklace <span class="m_8491664813681935029text_exposed_show">has a very organic look, curling, moving, making tours and detours. </span>The
soul which has experienced everything and evolved to a miraculous level
of consciousness has not one specific color, it has them all. Pure
light is made of all colors, not none. The crystals at the far end of
the necklace represent boddhisatvas, the enlightened.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

finally, on the inside of the necklace, there is a long 'diamond'
(cupchain) path, that cannot always be seen. Things may sometimes seem
to go awfully wrong, but whatever happens, wherever you are, the walk is
paved with diamonds. They are not always visible, but they are there,
all the way long, all the time, at every step. Because life is glorious. </span></span></span></div>

<b>Where do you prefer to do your beadwork? </b><br /> Anywhere in a
calm place, in a good chair with arm rests near a window, but not in the
sun. I would love to bead outside, or in public, but my light
sensitivity prevents me from doing that.<br />

<b>I understand that you blog about your beading adventures. Does writing about your beadwork help the creation process?</b><br />
No, the creation process results in writing about it, in particular if
it was a long or special work. I like to share my experience with other
people who would like to learn about it as much as I like to read about
the WIP of other beaders, like Marsha Wiest-Hines. This is how we can
learn from one another despite the distance between us. It is also a way
to tell people what they can do with what I teach in my tutorials if
they take the step of exploring further and improvise.<br />
<br />
<b>What tips or advice can you share that has helped you lead such a successful beading career?</b> I don't consider my beading activity as a career, but Maya Angelou said one day:<br />

started to do besides music, was painting pictures. There everything started. I
event had the chance to show my paintings in exhibitions here in Switzerland,
what went very successful.<br />
<br />
Then I decided to create more flowers. But this not painted ones. So, I started
to model them from sugar paste. This was the moment, when I started to decorate
cakes with sugar flowers. <br />
<br />
These were a lot of experiments, giving me a lot of experience, which I decided
to use for making flowers from leather.</span></i></span><br />

A: I first started to work with beads was, when a local fashion designer asked
me, if I could make him a necklace for his new wedding collection. Then I
started to watch a lot of tutorials with beading techniques and started to try.
Every time I finished something new, I started to get more and more excited and
confident. In the end, I succeeded to create my first wedding necklace.</span></span></div>

<br />
<b>First
if you could provide a little background such as where you are from or
live now and what your work or career is. Your Etsy shop profile
mentions you study geography, are there any favorite places or
influences that sparked your interest in that subject?</b><br />
<br />
I come
from Czech Republic, the home of well-known Czech glass beads. I’m just
a regular girl that grew up in the country. I came to the „big city“
after getting accepted to the University, where I chose to study nature
and geography. I wouldn’t say that anything specific led me this way,
I’ve been just interested in all the things around me. I’ve always been
interested mainly in the abiotic part of nature, and I’m still
fascinated by weather… And now, when my university studies are over,
this subject of knowledge makes my living. And what do I do when I come
home from work? Beading, of course…<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ggNH4cjYuXY/WL1FSiCavjI/AAAAAAAAAxw/f1g-PONJyYQq1p-LlFx1HO8MuxD73CwhwCLcB/s1600/IMG_1179.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ggNH4cjYuXY/WL1FSiCavjI/AAAAAAAAAxw/f1g-PONJyYQq1p-LlFx1HO8MuxD73CwhwCLcB/s400/IMG_1179.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>In your shop you offer many
wonderful pieces of beadwork. How long have you been beading and how
much time weekly do you devote to your craft?</b><br />
<br />
I started with
beading when I was a young girl, when I was stringing my mom’s and
grandma’s beads. As I said before, my country is one of the biggest
beads producer. Almost in every house you can find in the attic a huge
chest full of old beads… So, it was easy to start playing with beads. I
started beadweaving after years, approx. in 2009. This technique charmed
me so much that even now I am able to spend most of my time beading.
It’s hard to say how much time a week I spend beading, it depends on
many conditions. I would say I spend with beading about 10-15 hours a
week.<br />
<br />
<b>Do you have friends or relatives who also work with seed beads, or are there any beading societies or groups you belong to?</b><br />
<br />
No one from my family is beading. If someone beads something, the
initial impulse comes from me. Quite often my sister-in-law asks me to
bring some beads along, because she wants to do something for herself.
She uses my tutorials to create some floral jewelry.<br />
On the other
hand, beading is quite popular in Czech Republic and I’ve met a lot of
interesting and inspirational people thanks to beading. Beading
societies, like you can know from US, aren’t common here. Here it’s more
a question of arranging meeting bead friends for a dinner or a glass of
beer and then beading together all night long.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b> Your work shows a wonderful interpretation of nature, is that the main source of your inspiration?</b><br />
<br />
Yes, mainly I’m trying to find my muse in nature. This is the reason
why I enjoy working with nature materials the most. I’m not good at
using shiny Swarovski crystals, but psst don’t tell anybody. When I
walk outside, I’m trying to perceive all colors and shapes of nature
surrounding us. My most favorite season of year is definitely autumn.
You can find everything in it: beautiful color transitions and often
unsuspected color combinations, mysterious morning fogs and first
hoarfrost as well. Anywhere around us is a lot of inspiration, you just
have to keep your eyes open.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What artists or bead workers do you admire or feel have influenced your work?</b><br />
<br />
I’m trying, as I always did, not to get influenced by other authors.
Because of it, I use Pinterest as little as possible. I would like my
work to reflect just my ideas and moods<br />
However, there is a lot of
beaders that I adore greatly. One of many is for example Kinga Nichols
with her color and material combinations, Apollinariya Koprivnik with
her sparkling treasures, queen of sea urchins Joanne Zammit and I can’t
forget to mention my best-bead-friend Denisa Kangas<br />
<br />
<b>What are some of your favorite materials to work with?</b><br />
<br />
I love to work with any natural material. Gemstone cabochons, druzies,
any kind of fossils, pearls and shells, wooden beads, ceramics and so
on… I rather work with irregularly shaped material. Glitter and
perfectly polished surfaces gets me a little insecure, because I’m not
always sure how to work with them to get the perfect result. I really
love combination of matt and gloss and Czech glass beads.<br />
<br />
<b>Your
patterns in your shop are lovely. I especially like the way you use the
two holed beads in your designs. What are some of the joys you have
experienced or challenges you have faced selling on Etsy?</b><br />
<br />
The
greatest joy is when you receive positive feedback of your work. Like
when customer send me a picture of finished piece of jewelry made with
my tutorial.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Where do you see your work with bead weaving evolving in the future?</b><br />
<br />
My big dream is to have my own studio – room just for me and my craft
passions. I hope it will be soon, because we are planning reconstruction
with my boyfriend and I hope he will be kind enough to let one room for
me in our future home <br />
Anyway in this „dream studio“ I would like to
have a craft oven for making ceramic, glass or even copper enamel. I
would love to create my own components for my beaded jewelry.<br />

<b>Sarah Cryer, owner of Etsy shop “Sarah Cryer Beadwork” is a London-<br />based beadwork artist whose part-time passion for beadweaving has yielded big-time results. <br />A busy wife and mother of two, who also works secularly, Sarah uses her spare time to design<br />and create impressive geometric-shaped wearable art pieces. It is evident that her spare time,<br />is time well spent because she has won more than one Etsy Beadweavers challenge. <br />Sarah’s skill in 3D sculptural beading along with her love and excitement for beadweaving,<br />pushes her to produce high-quality, innovative designs. </b><br />

<b>Whether you purchase a finished piece or a tutorial from her Etsy shop you know exactly what you are getting<br />because her item descriptions are thorough, her designs are precise and beautifully<br />photographed, and her tutorials are fully illustrated, detailed and clear.<br />Sarah was kind enough to do a Q&amp;A, learn more about her work below.</b><br />
<b></b><br />
<b></b><br />
<b><br />Q. How long have you been beadweaving and how did you get started?</b><br />
Sarah Cryer: I’ve been beadweaving for around 8 years - prior to that I was stringing and<br />
playing with polymer clay, but then I discovered beadweaving and was hooked.<br />
<b><br />Q. What do you love about beadweaving?</b><br />
<br />
Sarah Cryer: I love the variety of textures and forms I can make, the fact that I can work on a<br />
tray on my lap (important in a busy house) and I find the act of beadweaving very therapeutic.<br />
Most of all though I do really, really love the beads themselves - the shapes, the finishes, the<br />
sparkle and just in the infinite, tiny variety!<br />
<br />
<b>Q. What moved you to become an Etsy seller and then a member of the<br />Etsy Beadweavers Team?</b><br />
<br />
Sarah Cryer: When I first started selling it was on Folksy - a UK based handmade<br />
marketplace. I still sell there, and do well with my finished pieces, but when I moved into<br />
tutorials Etsy was the obvious choice with its digital download service and international reach. I<br />
already knew about the EBWT as an author friend (Sophia Bennett) discovered you when she<br />
was writing a young adults book about fashion and beading, and shared you on Facebook, and<br />
I’d been watching member’s designs for a while.<br />
<br />
<b>Q. Which Etsy Beadweavers Team challenges have you won?</b><br />
<br />
Sarah Cryer: I was joint winner of the first challenge I entered, only days after joining the team,<br />
with my ‘Inspired by Chihuly’ Nasturtium Ring.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Edldy5Kg6yQ/WInYDXmvQvI/AAAAAAAAAv4/M_iWMXBlkL4vC2Q4aJIZL5mrR_sZcUKhgCEw/s1600/Nasturtium%2BRing%2B%2528EBWC%2BWinner%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="344" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Edldy5Kg6yQ/WInYDXmvQvI/AAAAAAAAAv4/M_iWMXBlkL4vC2Q4aJIZL5mrR_sZcUKhgCEw/s640/Nasturtium%2BRing%2B%2528EBWC%2BWinner%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
That was a big boost, and it’s still one of my favourite pieces - it almost beaded itself (although attempts to recreate in 11s instead of tiny 15s have since failed). Not long afterwards I won the ‘Abstract’ challenge with a large winged peyote bangle inspired by Monet’s Water Lilies - that was more of a surprise as the piece itself was a bit of a battle and wouldn’t work the way I wanted it to - I had to challenge myself to let go and just see where it went. I’ve not had time to enter more than a few challenges since then as I’ve either been focusing on other projects or couldn’t<br />
get pieces to work.<br />

However earlier this year I won the Stitch and Craft Beads Butterfly Challenge Professional category with my ‘Semele’s Cuff’which was a huge honour and pleasure, and I’m pushing myself to enter their challenge again next year, and also a couple of other competitions - they<br />
pull me out of my comfort zone, force me to work to the highest standards, and often result in<br />
pieces suitable for tutorials which is great.<br />

<br />
<b>Q. You are a very busy working mom with a husband, how do you find time for<br />beadweaving?</b><br />
<br />
Sarah Cryer: My house is very dusty - that probably accounts for some of the time! Seriously<br />
though, when you have young children you don’t go out much, so the evenings we previously<br />
spent going to the ballet or the opera, or enjoying drinks or meals out are but a distant memory.<br />
I work three days a week, with two at home with the youngest boy, and also sing so usually<br />
have at least one evening away at rehearsals. Once the boys are in bed though I can bead on<br />
the sofa, or work on patterns and kits, and although I don’t spend as much time as I would like<br />
on it, and can’t really teach or do fairs, it seems like a good balance for now. My 3-day a week<br />
job is as an IT Business Analyst for a leading UK department store, so I get lots of transferrable<br />
digital and more importantly shop-keeping and process efficiency skills from there which help.<br />
<br />
I’ve learned a lot over the last few years about how to streamline the business side to free up<br />
more time, and next month my youngest will be in pre-school three hours a day, so I’m planning<br />
to spend one three-hour chunk on pretending to be domesticated, and the other on beading or<br />
dressmaking (my other, rarely managed love).<br />
<br />
<b>Q. Why do you call yourself the indecisive beader?</b><br />
<br />
Sarah Cryer: When I was starting to blog I didn’t have the confidence to use my own name as<br />
the title, so I wanted to come up with an interesting pseudonym. I’m hopeless at getting on with<br />
a project - I can easily spend days just choosing the beads, starting, stopping, unpicking, pulling<br />
more beads, and my husband jokes that I spend more time choosing beads than beading -<br />
hence the name. At the moment I’m even worse than usual - I’m going through a period of<br />
experimentation with new techniques and have a horrible desire for perfection (born of pre-<br />
Christmas tiredness) which means that the three pieces I’m trying to do are all spending more<br />
time having new sets of beads pulled or being completely re-worked, than they are on being<br />
beaded.<br />
<b><br />Q. How would you describe the type of jewelry you make?</b><br />
<br />
Sarah Cryer: Bold but hopefully wearable, using a mix of off-loom techniques and beads.<br />
Colour is incredibly important to me - I discovered the work of Kaffe Fassett in my teens and<br />
have been working with bold, bonkers colours ever since - back then in patchwork, knitting and<br />
needlepoint, and now in beads (which are even more fun as you have finish and shape as well<br />
as colour to play with). I tend to tone that down a bit for my materials packs and finished pieces<br />
that are for sale because not everyone shares my taste, but the pieces I make for myself do<br />
tend to push the colour palette almost to the unwearable! I use Miyuki seeds and delicas, and<br />
lots of Czech beads, although I’m largely resisting the shaped bead revolution for now, and I do<br />
love crystals, although I tend to use them sparingly. My go to stitches are peyote and RAW,<br />
plus that weird mix of netting &amp; embellishment that so many use to build 3D structures - the<br />
peyote is shaped, and comes from an early and continuing affinity with my friend Jean Power’s<br />
amazing work, and the RAW and 3D work from Sabine Lippert and Marcia DeCoster - that<br />
combination probably explains why my style is still a bit eclectic rather than focused, but I’m still<br />
learning and enjoying the journey!<br />
<br />
<b>Q. What is your design process when creating/writing a tutorial?</b><br />
<br />
Sarah Cryer: Only one of my current pieces was designed specifically as a tutorial, and that<br />
was really an experiment to see if I could work in a focused way with that purpose in mind - I<br />
managed it, but that one hasn’t sold well, and I think that is probably fair as it’s not as innovative<br />
as my others, and I didn’t really enjoy the process. The successful tutorials such as the<br />
Baroque Tape Measure Surround and Space Needle Case were born<br />
of pieces made as experiments in form, or technique, and often for competitions, where at some<br />
point in the process or even years later I thought ‘yes, I could write this up, I think it might sell’.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kpFE0XjB6tE/WInYDlnMpLI/AAAAAAAAAwE/QC1uyB2yon4SMGA2nZ5uWJUKngUpNLYpwCEw/s1600/Space%2BNeedle%2BCases%2B%2528Tutorial%2Bavailable%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="348" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kpFE0XjB6tE/WInYDlnMpLI/AAAAAAAAAwE/QC1uyB2yon4SMGA2nZ5uWJUKngUpNLYpwCEw/s640/Space%2BNeedle%2BCases%2B%2528Tutorial%2Bavailable%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
As I don’t have lots of time I’m pretty strict now with what I do publish - the piece must be<br />
individual rather than derivative, have been honed to provide the simplest technical beading<br />
experience possible, and I need to be able to explain clearly in words and diagrams what I’ve<br />
done. So that means at the moment that in my queue of ‘to write ups’ I’ve got several paused<br />
because I can’t find a way to describe the 3D structure, another which is just too simple, and<br />
another where the thread paths and order of steps needs some serious re-working before I’ll<br />
consider publishing. So for now I’m concentrating on beading new work and hoping some of it<br />
will end up being suitable - if it’s not, then I’ll still have some lovely beadwork at the end!<br />
<br />
<b>Q. What tips or advice can you share that has helped you run a successful Etsy<br />shop?</b><br />
<br />
Sarah Cryer: Evolution not revolution - focus on the essentials at first and allow the peripherals<br />
to evolve. <br />
I would say the essentials are good product, very good photos to show how good your products<br />
are, a simple look and feel, and engagement with your market. For me, a macro lense for our<br />
SLR and a helpful patient husband sorted out the photography, to engage with customers I use<br />
my blog <a class="postlink" href="http://www.theindecisivebeader.com/" rel="nofollow">www.theindecisivebeader.com</a> and the associated Facebook page, and for good<br />
product I have to rely on hard work and inspiration, and try to resist the temptation to list<br />
everything I finish. Everything else - the business cards, packaging, paid marketing, etc is<br />
pointless without those three essentials as no one will buy anything - you can evolve those as<br />
you go along, gently trying out different options as you have sales to try them on, only then will<br />
you understand how well you and your processes work. And I’ve probably also evolved to focus<br />
my limited time on the things that sell - I’d love that to be finished work, but it’s not, it’s tutorials<br />
and kits. <br />
<br />
<b>Q. What other ways do you market your finished pieces and tutorials?</b><br />
<br />
Sarah Cryer: I mainly use my blog <a class="postlink" href="http://www.theindecisivebeader.com/" rel="nofollow">www.theindecisivebeader.com</a> and Facebook page<br />
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.facebook.com/theindecisivebeader/" rel="nofollow">www.facebook.com/theindecisivebeader/</a> . They cover my whole beading life - so everything I’m<br />
making, including reviews of other beaders patterns &amp; books, failures, UFOs, sewing, and life in<br />
general rather than just being about the commercial side, which I hope makes them more<br />
engaging for customers and friends. I also seem to get good conversions from the Etsy shop<br />
updates feature, and good traffic through from Pinterest (SarahBeady) where I am a devoted<br />
pinner of gorgeous pieces from other beaders (I try and remember to sneak in the odd pin of my<br />
stuff and it seems to work). I’m also very lucky to have made friends, both in the flesh and<br />
digitally, with some wonderful beaders both in London and across the world, and their support<br />
on social media in particular has been hugely instrumental in getting some of my key pieces to a<br />
wider audience, as well as being a lovely experience. Realistically though, that following is<br />
largely composed of beaders, so whilst it works well for tutorials and kits, I’ve still not found a<br />
really successful method for marketing finished work - I’d be interested in ideas and tips there!<br />
<br />
<b>Q. Have you made use of the EBW Instagram page?</b><br />
<br />
Sarah Cryer: I’m very new to Instagram as The Indecisive Beader (a matter of weeks) so I’m<br />
still feeling my way around a bit, but you’ll see me there soon!<br />
Sarah Cryer may be “The Indecisive Beader”, but she is also proof that “it’s not how much time<br />
you have to bead that matters, it's how you use the time you have to bead that makes the<br />
difference”.Elyse T. http://www.blogger.com/profile/16176095258567664480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913931284385207251.post-41629898076979515242017-01-18T02:20:00.001-08:002017-01-18T02:20:42.362-08:00January 2017 "Rising Star" Challenge ResultsCongratulations to <span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/people/LeelaBeads">Lea Paličková</a> who won both the team vote with her stunning </span>Galactica Neckalce!<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;">What initially attracted you to beads as a medium?</span><br />
Several years ago, I was about 8-9 years old when I began to explore the world of beads.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">And, more specifically, how was your imagination drawn to bead weaving?</span><br />
At
the time, cross stitch embroideries were being made. It was a favorite
magazine subject, where I saw at first bead jewelry making. I really
liked one design and thought that I could make it. The first attempt was
very well done and then on I liked the world of beads.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">What was your route to becoming an artist?</span><br />
I
began simpler pieces, I always made jewelry that was complex and
time-consuming. I learned on the Internet, bought samples, attended
forums. I was looking for beaded groups on the Internet. I learned a
lot, including new techniques.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Tell us a bit about your favorite techniques.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fwvKvr-FqU0/WFAKy1fRJHI/AAAAAAAAAuk/aeSaKWmWiTUFENOX90jObwlv2d7qyfmiACLcB/s1600/il_fullxfull.1066898682_3o4a.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="251" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fwvKvr-FqU0/WFAKy1fRJHI/AAAAAAAAAuk/aeSaKWmWiTUFENOX90jObwlv2d7qyfmiACLcB/s400/il_fullxfull.1066898682_3o4a.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
A
new technique suddenly appeared in the bead embroidery magazine I read.
I loved it, I knew right away that this is my thing. Hatvani Annie was
the first one who displayed embroidered bead jewelry. His knowledge
about using more about the bead embroidery spoke to me. <br />
Using the
Internet has opened the world of beading to me. I recognized all over
the world various bead artists. I saw fantastic jewelry. Both inspired
me to create my jewelry that is similar, but according to their my own
plans.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Do you design the piece before starting? If not, what prep work do you do?</span><br />
A
small piece of jewelry does not always need a plan in advance. For a
ring, pendant or something less, in the central part, I choose and find
out on the fly how to include more beads. The bracelets and necklaces
are planned more in advance, drawn on paper. <br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />What currently inspires you?</span><br />
I
enjoy the diversity of new beads which have coming out lately. I love
to try them. They offer a lot of new possibilities. But my big love is
Swarovski stones and gemstones. I make a lot of jewelry that combines
the two.<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Who have been your major influences, and why?</span><br />
Nowadays there are Russian artists with pieces that have a great impact on me.<br />
I
love it when my jewelry can be worn either in formal settings or on
weekdays as well. I love the elegant, unique jewelry, or what was once
seen that unique. I love it when the owner of the jewelry turns even
more beautiful thanks to my pieces<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">What is your favorite thing about working with beads?</span><br />
<br />
Not
so long ago since I made pattern samples. A request was made at first
by a beading magazine. There are also simpler designs that even
beginners can feel free to make, but I make more complicated, more
complex samples. The ease of patterns and beauty of the jewelry are
equally important.
