Amazing! You really do a wonderful job. I wish I could draw like you do. The idea of viewing your work in a mirror is a good one too, I've never tried it but I'm definitely going to.
Thank you, Liz. I was thinking about you today and your amazing embroidery. I use to do a lot of medallions using two needles, and also lazy stitch on moccasins. Have you ever tried using two needles instead of one?
Hi Jambo!
I have not tried two needles. I'm intrigued and will look into it. I think I stopped beading years ago because I was tired of following patterns. I really liked the design work but I'd burn out when I was making a piece. Once I realize you could just go on without a plan it opened up a new world for me. I want to start doing freeform bead weaving, maybe that's where I could give two needles a try. If you have any specific types of stitches in mind please let me know. I have a lot to learn and love the fact that people like you make my world richer :-)
Liz, it is so easy, must be why it is called the lazy stitch and is it used by a lot of Native Americans for beadwork. You just pick the beeds on your needled for the first one, lay them where you want them, then the second needled stitches them down over the string. That second needle shows not at all, it is between the beeds. On the back of your work you only have these tiny stitches where the second needle stitched the string to the work. Google Gourd Stitch...it is one of my favorites. I have even beaded salt shakers with that stitch.
