Details and Beading
I had a bead loom like this one when I was a kid. I still have a couple of tiny pieces I made with it. Well, now I have one again! I love making jewelry with antique straps of woven beads, but they are very hard to find. So I decided to make my own!
It's been a fun project! Kind of slow, kind of like stitching! I've got about 18 inches done and need 24 before I'm done. It won't be long!

Oh my gosh -- I used to make beaded stuff like that too! I guess I must have had a loom too, but I don't remember. I just remember making it. Loved doing that!!! Beautiful -- all of your jewelry.
