Beads and More Beads
Beads have been used in trade, as gifts and as tokens of trust
and to adorn tombs. They have been sewn to clothing, shoes, fixed to weapons and braided into hair and horse tails.

The urge to decorate ones self with beads has been a part of every culture for the last 40,000 years, if not longer. Whether the beads were made of shell or ivory, bronze or glass--the need to decorate stems from distinguishing royalty from peasant, honoring Gods, and special dress for special celebrations.

Today, beads of all kind are readily available, and beading is a satisfying, creative and economical craft--one that can even turn into a business. Learning to make earrings, bracelets and necklaces is not difficult--leaving the rest up to your own imagination and sense of color, form and design. If you don't like something you have made, it is simple to take it apart and try again--without wasting a lot of material. Set up is easy, a couple of pairs of pliers, some beads and a working space.
