Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge of tambour. Really love all the techniques!

[@geeksdo1tbetter]

so very cool! i really like seeing the sequins sort of standing up next to the bugle beads

[@lisajarvis2838]

❤️ the double sided work-that is something I've seen on items but never knew how it was done!! Thanks!!

[@Teddybearboy]

The reversible sequin technique is pure genius!

Your videos are terrific, thank you so much for sharing your expertise!

[@tambourbeader]

I am so glad they are helpful and informative. My goal is to conquer the world one sequin at a time!

Hello Robert,i am wanting to do a tulle skirt but only 1 bead randomly to make the skirt sparkle,if doing what i would like to do with much practice what do you suggest because i dont want to break off the thread all the time? thank you and loved watching your series 1 etc.

[@tambourbeader]

You only have two choices either start and stop with each bead or continue to stitch between each bead. The fist method is explained in my book in the chapter on "Isolated Elements". For the second method i would suggest a metallic thread so that it too gives a bit of sparkle between the beads.

Me again Robert,i get the sequins now but what about the beads like just putting one in a lace flower and moving on until all the lace flowers are covered?

[@tambourbeader]

to add one bead to a flower you have to either continue the chain stitching of the thread to the next flower or start and stop with each flower.

Why do some houses (and Middle Eastern Artists ) bead on top of frame, while others bead from the underside (as you do)? Is it technical or preferential?

[@tambourbeader]

Well its part historical and part cultural more so than preferential. Research indicated that working a chain stitch through fabric with some sort of hook made its way out of china along the ancient trade routes. When the technique was first adopted in India to create embroidered textiles they added beads and things to the surface by slipping the beads on the hook itself and dropping one at a time. A hook was used in Europe mostly to create lace on netting . It was not until the late 19th century that the idea of stringing beads or sequins onto the spool ( which of course is picked up by the hook under the fabric) to apply the beads and sequins. The result was that the European method was worked from the back side of the fabric...which is why most historical and contemporary beading is done on sheer fabrics , tulle or lace! The main difference is the fact that in India they can not apply beads any smaller than will fit on their hooks... ie.small seed beads and bugle beads. The European Tambour hook is considerably more versatile than the Aari hook used in India.

Do you still do your class in Toronto?

[@tambourbeader]

I dont currently have plans for classes in Toronto.My connection to Ryerson and a space to hold the classes graduated!

[@AnnaDatoFarouk]

Do you do any online class ?

[@tambourbeader]

it is not possible to do an on line tambour beading class, as I have to be able to see what student's hands are doing in person to correct errors in technique.
