The Numerous Shapes And Forms Involving Bead Work Assignments
Beadwork, quite literally, is anything made out of beads. What first comes to mind is jewelery, and maybe second is decorations on clothing. Wedding gowns are notorious for having beadwork on them. While jewelry may well be one of the first places we see beading used, it is not where the story stops.
For starters, don't assume that beading has to be a round bead. Anything with an opening in it, can be strung. Likely the first man to do this was making use of a rock or shell with a hole in it. Perhaps the bone of a killed animal, so that others know of his prowess in the hunt. It wouldn't take long for that to become a contest; who has the best kills. Thus stringing many on a line at once.
With different culture, the meaning may have been different, but the early process was the same. And this basic beadwork is customary in almost every culture throughout the world. Over time, the means transformed and the patterns became elaborate.
In today's society there is little that couldn't be made with beads, though, some particular things would beg the question, "Why do you?" Whole purses can be seen created using beads, shoes as well (though I don't imagine that is comfortable). You could, if you so wanted, make a whole shirt from beads. That would certainly be a long project and require the utmost persistence. Something smaller might be a cigarette case.
If you are able to dream it, you can bead it.
With the internet at your finger tips there is enough free tutorials and patterns to keep you occupied and learning for a life time. There are not just patterns free of cost, but instructional videos. There is no better teacher, of course, than experience. So dive in, there are no wrong answers here!
