This was the chillest beading video I've ever seen. I think I've got it and I'm super relaxed. Thank you!

Great video. I'm very new to beading. I find building the grids and patterns oddly satisfying. Also the beauty of the work when it starts to take shape is very motivating. It's like 'wow, *I* created that.'

I just started seed beading crafter three things so far just random patterns maybe not even pattern at all but I've noticed to get this your level it will require lots of thought and planning , I'm sure I can do do it I come from a long line of beaders for generations I still have my great grandmothers moccasins she did back in 1912 and a jean jacket my uncle put a thunder eagle on in 62 , you do beautiful work . 🦅

Looking forward to browsing your collection and finding a bit of inspiration along the way ..There's an old quote that comes to mind as I watch your instruction style..I believe it was attributed to B. Franklin but was in fact borrowed from the Native Americans of the day..“Tell me and I'll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I'll understand.”

@bluejay6497 9 жыл бұрын

Hi Van thanks for video just tried this out, had 42 beads on and did the repeat of the flowers on the 6 bead basis, must say looks really good BUT now I don't know where to go next to get the diagonal stripes to match up, but not going to give up I have to get this right because I want to make some beautiful lighter covers like yours. I can't thank you enough for your help really appreciate it. Thank you.

@vanirex 9 жыл бұрын

Okay, so just to be clear, you should have gotten 7 'flowers', hope you did. As far as the diagonals go, there's so many different kinds, I usually try to get a 'V' between the flowers, of black, and then the next row I will put my first color in there. Then it's a simple matter to put one color on each side of that first, and then start movin' left (or right) from there. I want to urge you again to not just go for a lighter straight out, but to do a practice piece like I showed in the video, using only 12 beads for two rows (6 beads per row), as well as a fairly short string. This will let your mind & body figure this stuff out and avoid crushing your spirit in the process. Good luck and keep me posted, I'll do what I can to help :).

I think your math is well explained although if you have done peyote before, it's a bit easier to understand what you're talking about with how patterns work. I looked on your video roster and none in the last year. Hope you are doing ok. Keep beading! Great videos!

how do you bead a bottom for lighter covers? in just doing a simple horizontal stripe rainbow with delica beads they are size 12 so I actually needed 48 of them compared to the seed beads. the seed beads I have are size 10 and just wasn't liking it as much as the delica beads. another reason I did something simple is this is my first time doing tubular even count peyote. I like it.

Leah Mondloch Hey thanks -- I do what I can. I get that 'hey, know any great patterns' a lot; I'm not sure what to do. My goal is to really help others to find the patterns within themselves, not simply parrot what I do. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's the difference between teaching someone to sing a song vs. teaching them how to create their OWN songs...Feel free to use any of the patterns I present, and if you see a specific one you like, maybe we can work something out. I'm kinda super busy at the moment, but like to help where I can. Happy beading!

@nursepunkie9354 6 жыл бұрын

Please please PLEASE tell me how you bead around a curved edge like at the bottom of the tubular red yellow black and white piece you showed at the end of the video. I know it involves a decrease, can you do a video on that? Your decrease is so neat and you even have the yellow pattern at the bottom of it. I’ve tried about twenty times and I’m missing something still. I’m begging you! Thanks

@vanirex 6 жыл бұрын

Look around youtube for flat circular peyote. You'd build that piece out until it's the same size (row count) as your tubular peyote component, and then stitch them together. In the case of the three stick covers I built, I actuall started building out flat and then switched to tubular so it's all one piece.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7epdMd4tq7Odqs.html for example.

@nursepunkie9354 6 жыл бұрын

VaniRex thank so much! I tried myself with the flat peyote but can never get it as neat as you do I have to try with delicas they are much more uniform. Also I tried connecting tubular and circular flat it worked but looked like two pieces attached ya know lol . I didn’t think to flow from one to another I will definitely test that out. How did I not think of that? Lol I appreciate your swift feedback! ✌🏽Happy beading.

See what rolls out from within. That's all.

I'm out in South Dakota on retreat, don't have a lot of time for beadin' :). However, why don't you check out kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZpySppuKu6mziX0.htmlm0s. In all the times I've 'closed off' tubular peyote, it's really always been backwards, because I've STARTED with flat circular and then switched to tubular when it got wide enough. Also, if ya search around for 'flat circular peyote' you should find some videos that'll help ya. I'll put this one on my bucket list, so keep a lookout, cuz once I finish up out here in SD & get back to Oregon I'm gonna do a bunch of stuff. Thanks for asking, good luck, and hope you take the time to show me your stuff, someday.
