That's right, new beadwork. In fact it will be a new type of beadwork. The studio will still be offering perler bead sprites, but we will now be experimenting with seed bead weaving as well. We're going to start small with maybe a few keychains or ornament type items and work up to larger and larger pieces. Since this will be a new venue, we will be open to considering requests on what our watchers and customers would like to see.

There are a few things to keep in mind though when ordering or requesting a piece done in seed beads. First off, seed beads are TINY little things. They also come in a wide array of colors so we have a larger pallet than we do with perler beads. They will take longer to complete a piece with as weaving takes time and not all beads are fit to weave with.

We are also currently experimenting with what type of backing to use to stiffen the woven seed beads with, so improvements will be made as we become more familiar with this new product line.
