I just couldn't do it, until I watched someone do it. (the easiest way I've found of teaching it is with large plastic Pony beads, and yarn, until the student gets the hang of the technique, THEN they can move on to smaller beads.)<BR/><BR/>I learned with 8/0s, and it took me 3 tries (I just couldn't get it started! LoL! Oh, and I actually had such tight tension, that I'd constantly stab myself with my teeny 1.25 hook, those things are POINTY!!!). I've been at it for about 2 years, and I've been hooked on it ever since! I'd say it takes me around 2.5 hours to complete one (from designing, stringing, crocheting, to finishing)now. But my first one? It took me a few days as well, LoL!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139913832176062215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878078.post-1167413486726799552006-12-29T13:31:00.000-04:002006-12-29T13:31:00.000-04:00I just made my first crochet braclet.

Actually, I can't get tired of them, every single one is different, and hunting around in my bead stash for a combo I haven't done yet is quite a task. It's all in the sequence stringing. And once I've got 5-6 strung on one spool, it's quite nice to sit on my sofa, and just hook the beads up, quite meditative actually. <BR/><BR/>I do keep my skills honed on one-off creations, but I've come to the hard realization that these are my "Bread & Butter" pieces, and are what I need to do to keep a steady cash flow coming in. Same with the earrings. I certainly would like to just make my unique artistic pieces, but I haven't been able to make a 'living' with them.<BR/><BR/>The way I see it, it's like a lampwork artist who perfects her skills on, say, a heart bead, and it becomes her 'signature' bead. Like my friend Teri, she speciallizes in making hearts... <BR/><BR/>LoL! She's a HEART SPECIALLIST!!!! :D<BR/><BR/>Ha! Ha! Ha! I guess that makes me 'twisted'!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139913832176062215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878078.post-1167199201536671132006-12-27T02:00:00.000-04:002006-12-27T02:00:00.000-04:00I LOVE those!!!
