Some of my works with beads and threads

[DEMET]

These are the little trims that I made, rope neclases are made by mother.
I used synthetic threads and very small beads.

I tried to take clear picture but I am not very good photographer
Here is the picture

Oh how beautiful!!!!! I love the white pearled one....and the white with purple one. Actually I don't think I could pick a favorite. They are all just gorgeous!

[theworm]

They're all so beautiful! I really want to learn to do beaded ropes like that. I tried once, but it didn't go so well.
You're beaded edgings are so delicate and beautiful! I'm in awe!!

I love the beaded necklaces! I have tried over and over to do this, from a book, but I just can't seem to get it! I wish you could teach a class! I need someone to show me!

[Krakovianka]

You've done a wonderful job of integrating the crochet and the beads--it all looks gorgeous.

Thank you, I wish I can teach too, but I have language barier, I do not know crochet terms even in my language (Turkish) besides most of the time there is no instruction at Turkish magazines. Most of the time I make things up or try to make similar by looking to diagram or if not available looking to pictures. Oh, well

[crochetluvknot]

very pretty

[MaryPat]

How ingenious. I would never have thought of adding beads to an edging or creating an edging out of beads. They're beautiful. Congratulations!

[Monique39]

gorgeous!

[nevadamama]

I don't have a clue how that is done.

I'm impressed.

[magiccrochetfan]

[CLLinda]

Very nice beaded work.

[auntbubbels]

They are just beautiful - I went to your site and all your doilies are just exquisite - do you sell your beaded work?

[Momcrochets]

exquisite!

[TheLadyWind]

such beautiful work! Beaded ropes are something I am planning on getting into (one my many projects are finished lol)

[MadeJust4You]

I agree with the others. I would love for you to teach a class please sign me up for it if you do. Those are amazing. I have never tried doing anything like that before.:hook

[DEMET]

They are just beautiful - I went to your site and all your doilies are just exquisite - do you sell your beaded work?

I sometimes make doilies with seed beads and sell them. I usually make them upon request.

I wish I had better language skill to explain what I am doing, unfortunatelly I do not know all those special crochet terms even in my language. I do things from diagrams or picture, I make things up too.

Thank you for all the nice words.

Demet, I can't believe you make things up! You are very creative!

[cdschlea]

WOW!!! Beautiful! What a talent!

Absolutely gorgeous! How long have you been doing beadwork for??
A Question for you, if you don't mind. :blush I bought a book with some lacey fringey beadwork patterns like the ones shown in your picture and I realized they're NOT for beginners. Where would you suggest I start or where did you start when you began doing beadwork?

[hhensler]

WOW!!! Those are gorgeous!

I did not use books for my bead work (pattern wise) I have Turkish lace Works (OYA) Catalogues, it has many kind of thread works in it.

I am not very experienced one, I am crocheting since 2000, I learned crocheting by looking to pictures and I learned how to read symbols, still working on reading and writing instructions, not going well. :(

I started to make simple trims and add beads at their last row. I prefer fine (size 30 and finer) nylon or polyester threads for heavy bead work because they are stronger than fine cotton threads. If I use size 10 threads and little larger beads than I use cotton threads.
I found following links for bead work for beginners at this thread, I even saw there is crochet classroom, I am assuming that it may have bead teaching class too.

They are
