Tips on beadings

Beading is addictive. Once you start on a new project, you can just go on and on. So eager to see the finished work, that the color combination blends with the different color beads. However, its good to do careful planning before you actually start on a new project. I've learned from the many mistakes in my earlier projects of not doing the initial trial and errors, in trying to blend the matching color beads and the correct size. Its always good to just start with a reasonable length whereby you are able to see the pattern forming. Only when you are comfortable with the color combination, should you then continue or to abort and start all over again with a different color combination. Well, thats how I always start on a project. Sometimes, it takes a few trials to come out with one that I like. Of course, the next thing to do is to consult your beading friends for their opinion!
