Magic Carpet Challenge

Our Beaddreamz Magic Carpets challenge, hosted by Kristen, will commence at the beginning of March and proceed through until the end of May. We hope to challenge members to create a gorgeous little carpet combining bead and thread embroidery. This photo shows a perfect example of what can be achieved.



Kristen has chosen a 'floral' theme and has offered ideas on how this theme can be interpreted. Her suggestions include an underwater garden, complete with fish or seashell flowers, a shadow garden inspired by shadows thrown by flowers on a sidewalk, window or wooden floor or flowers represented by geometric designs of diamonds, squares, octagons, curves, etc.

Challengers will be given every assistance from choosing the best materials to use through to how to present the finished embroidery. Stitches and other techniques will be shared along the way.

Please consider joining in. The more the merrier.

Hello members and welcome new visitors!

We are pleased to present another wonderful selection of bead art by our members. Our blog is relatively new and we hope in the future to feature beadwork created by all our members. Please keep watching for YOUR work. Lynn and Aryd'ell

Lots to do, lots to see, and many Friends to meet!

That's us at Beaddreamz! Throughout the year, there will be challenges, or bead-alongs with themes, where you can learn a new technique by beading the project at home, and asking questions of the group as needed. There will be swaps to share, and perhaps even a round robin or two, where projects are passed from their originators, through the creative hands of a small group, to finally end up home, completely finished and ready to enjoy!
You will find tips on techniques, links to all sorts of materials, and enough eye-candy in our photo section to give even the most jaded beader a mental and emotional bead-high!
Best of all, you will find beaders of all types and skill levels, ready to share their projects, and a bit of their lives, with you.
If this sounds like something you would enjoy, please follow the link and join us for a bit of beady fun!
Lynn and Aryd'ell
