Bead Embroidery Series - #1 The Basics- 4 Methods of attaching beads

[@catherineluttermoser5818]

You are such a great teacher. Thank you. I remember watching my mother bead on her clothing when I was young. I loved watching her make beautiful items. My people are from Manitoulin Island. I am Ojibwe . It is wonderful to learn traditional skills. My mother taught us basic basket weaving when we were young. How to to harvest vines and make them into useful and beautiful items. We learned about different tannins to dye with. Played at sanding feathers. My grandfather taught me to track and about local flora and fauna on our farm in Michigan as a child. I learned to skin in 3rd grade. Thank you for helping me further my traditional skills and be able to pass them on to my daughter. Have a beautiful day, Thank you.

[@ManieMartinez]

Thank you so much for your heart warming words. I too am Ojibwe, from the Manitoba/Ontario boarder. I am so happy to see that you learned so much from your elders and are continuing to learn so you can pass it down to the next generation. Miigwech and many blessings from the creator on you and your family.

Catherine Luttermoser how I envy your childhood. I was raised away from my tribe so I haven’t those memories.

I have been beading for decades and picked up some things that I didn't know before. Thank you!

Just getting started and am clueless. This is so helpful! Thank you. 😘

PLEASE KEEP MAKING VIDEOS LIKE THIS!!!

OMG! You have no idea how helpful this tutorial was. Be blessed

[@cadencehashira]

Mani, thank you so much for providing a thorough and accessible introduction to such an old and revered Indigenous practice. I feel so blessed to have found you and this introduction. I will remember this every time I bead.

[@lalka2010]

Loved it, I’m getting hooked to it . I have an indigenous Canadian co worker and she made me a hair pin and a poppy and I love it!

[@countrymousejewelry]

I've been playing around with bead embroidery and this was so helpful to me, thank you 🧡

[@painthorsedreams]

I am brand new to this. Just bought my first beads. I can’t wait to try this. Thank you very much for sharing a thorough well made, clear video. I love that I can actually see what you are stitching. You explained everything so clearly. Thank you so much!!!

[@dianabaglee3521]

Thank your for slowing down this process. I have watched a few videos on this and they go to fast and ended up having to watch them over repeatedly in order to see what is happening.

[@Morag-jy5ye]

Found this as I am starting beading and it is an excellent lesson - thank you!

[@dharkling890]

I have finally found a teacher I can relate to. I've watched a lot of videos trying to learn and they're good, but they're not right for me. You are a great teacher. Thank you so much. I can't wait to get started. And what you were saying about the stiff felt, I had no idea what to use so I'm glad you explained that. Common sense told me the cloth needed to be tight so I was going to put it in an embroidery hoop. I am a new subscriber .

Glad it was helpful!

I find beading really intresting and mind calming. Thank you for your video. Thankfully my mom is sewing, crotcheting etc and we always had things needed for such art. Just needed to get the beads. Hopefully I will stick to it.

You’re an incredible teacher! And very encouraging; I felt like I had a motivational speaker with me telling me to make sure I relax and just worry about it being neat 😅 I had the stupid problem of pulling too tight 🤦🏻‍♀️ Im a bead weaver so I’m used to pulling tightly but you’re absolutely right I just skim over a lot of silly mistakes I’m making and you bring them to my attention!

Just started watching video. I hope I learn something here. I'm a beginnerish level. I just don't know HOW to add thread properly. I really wanna learn how to do this type of beading. I've just started my first earring. Usually bead lanyards and dreamcatchers. I did 2 lightercases also. Idk how to do patterns. I hope I can understand u! But it's looking hopeful so far! Regardless Migwetch (thank you) for passing on your traditional knowledge in a modern way! What a cool way to do that!!! ✌PEACE 🖤LOVE ☻JOY from a Saulteaux Queen from Regina Saskatchewan Canada!!
