Beadweaving Artists on 1000 Markets

I love beadweaving, but it takes a lot of time.  My pieces are simple in comparison because I just don't have the patience for the type of work I've chosen to feature below.  Each piece takes hours of planning and beading.  And now for 6 very impressive, patient artists found on 1000 Markets! 

Beaded Extravagance with "Sea Grass Necklace"

Beads Forever with "Night Vision Necklace"

Rachele's Originals with "Chocolate Sparkle Cuff"

Nans Glam with "Blushing Garden Cuff"

Totally Twisted with "Deep Blue Sea Necklace"

Littlestone Designs with "Moss and Copper Spiral Necklace"

Each artist featured here has a variety of pieces and prices available in their shops (links above). These are only a few of the amazing beadweaving (and bead embroidering) artists on 1000 Markets.  There are many other styles available, so check back next post when I feature 6 more beadweavers from 1000 Markets whose work is just as lovely in slightly less extravagant styles!

And after that, I'll be featuring some beadweaving basics tutorials followed by project instructions!  Whoo, about time!

Beadweaving Artists on DA

For my first post, I'd like to showcase some of the amazing beadweavers (and bead embroiderers) found on DeviantArt, for two reasons.  One, I personally love beadweaving and am constantly trying to improve my skills at it, and two, DeviantArt was one of the first websites I ever joined and I still love it there!

In no particular order, here are half a dozen talents:

jagienkaa with "Fireflies among moss" 

Fleur-de-Irk with "Sphinx pendant P176"

 

beadg1rl with "Crystal Ribbon Bracelet"

GoodQuillHunting with "Queen of the Nile"

SandFibers with "Curliques"

MyFairLadyVT4 with "Abalone and Green Bracelet"

If you like these designs, check the artists DeviantArt gallery for more (links above)!  Many times the artists has pieces or patterns for sale.  You can also find other beadweavers on DeviantArt, just search under >Artisan Crafts >Jewelry and then type "beadweaving" in the search bar on the main page.

Check back for more great artists and tutorials in the future!

Happy Creating,
