I love beading! :)

Why did I create the Blog, and YouTube Tutorials?

My parents have always taught me to share things with others. This is me sharing the talent of beading with all who are interested. I want to share this Talent I have learned with others, so they can learn too! I have it for display in hopes that I might be able to help and inspire others who are interested in beading! Because this way, others can make their own jewelry with out having to pay for it, and be proud that they did it themselves! :)
*Remember that people have their own ways of doing things, this is the way that I am comfortable beading.
** This is a hobby for me, it is something I do as a stress reliever and for fun.. all while putting my heart into it <3

I am from the Gila River Indian Community in Arizona. I was also the "Miss Gila River" in 2010. In 2013, they celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Miss Gila River. The MGR committee wanted a gift that they could give to all the former title holders and they commissioned me to make little beaded crowns that they could give all former Miss Gila River and honorary title holders. In total I believe I beaded 58 little crowns!!

This is the link to the video I had made

Here are some pictures of those beaded crowns ::)










Earrrings

I think one of the pieces I like to make are earrings. They're so easy and quick to make. A pair usually takes me anywhere from 30-45 minutes to make depending on the design and size. Here are a few pictures of some that I could find. These are all pretty simple designs.
