  • Re: Questions for Seasoned seeders and beading newbies.......

    I am Navajo but not gifted with that eye for color mixtures seen on so many American Indian (that is what we still refer to ourselves as because we still think every American born person is a native American and should be acknowledged as such) projects, but it digress. Peyote is my very fave stitch,...

  • Freeform bracelet with Paula shell cabochon

    This is my first ever entry into the Etsy Beadweaver's Monthy challenge - the theme is "A Midsummer Nights Dream" I took this as an opportunity to use up some of those blue beads that seem to be more abundant than any other color of bead I have. It was a lot of fun making this bracelet...

  • Nymo vs. Fireline?

    Hello, all! I'm very new to off loom weaving, and have fallen in love with RAW and peyote. I've had a great deal of difficulty weaving with Fireline - I can never seem to get the tension right, no matter how often I adjust, pull, even tying unnecessary knots! Once the piece is finished, I always...

  • Need some input about books with PEYOTE patterns

    I would like to buy some books with nice peyote patterns. If you have one or know of one, please tell me the title and who wrote it. I am not looking for patterns of vases and alike, but bracelets and necklaces. Thank you so much in advance!

  • Freeform peyote stitch jewelry inspired by Florida nature

    The inspiration for jewelry can come from many places. I started making simple knotted necklaces over seven years ago and my work has evolved into a self-taught freeform peyote technique. Living in Florida has provided many of the color themes and subject matter for my pieces. I have a small gallery...

  • Peyote bail

    Q I bought a 2 x 1-in. (5 x 2.5 cm) gold-foil glass pendant, but I can’t find a bail that is large enough to fit the thickness (about ¼ in./6 mm). Can you suggest a solution besides stringing a cord through the hole? Thank you, Dorothy Siu Leandro, CA A Thanks for your question, Dorothy. I have a few...

  • Re: How do I add a back onto

    Hi All, Thought I'd give an update on my project as I have learned a few things. I did add the two extra columns to the piece and began the tube. One thing I discovered is that the word chart becomes very difficult to read for a couple of reasons--when doing tubular peyote you are always going one...

  • Re: Challenge - Different Strokes for Different Folks!

    Michele, If you can find Carol Wilcox Wells' books in Scotland, I highly recommend them. The instructions and diagrams are excellent. The Art and Elegance of Bead Weaving is inspiring, but when I learned the Peyote stitch, I also started referring to Creative Bead Weaving . The instructions/ diagrams...

  • Re: How do I add a back onto

    Alex, I think it just dawned on me. AHA! The extra column is because you couldn't sew up the bottom (or two sides) since the up and down beads would be directly opposite each other and not alternating properly? Something like that, anyway. I have thought of a cell phone bag and decided it was a big...
