It's a Beadiful Day

Welcome to It's A Beadiful Day. I created this blog to express my hobby of transforming plain things as beads into beautiful jewelries and tapestries. I started more hobbies: stained glass and lampworking in 2013 and broaden my love of glass. I started going to painting classes in 2014 and found a new love of painting.

About Me

My photo
It's a Beadiful Day
United States
I've always love beads since I was a little girl. My dream was to be able to learn how to make jeweleries from beads. Off-loom bead weaving and bead-stitching are my favorites techniques. I started beading in May 2009 and although I love beads of all kinds, I enjoy working with size 11/0 seed beads the most. Please feel free to write me a comment or just tell me what city and/or country you are at, and/or exchange communications with me. I hope this blog can brighten your day, as much as each individual project brightens my life. Previously,I made this blog just for my bead projects. But, I've been learning so many other crafts, mostly with glass (glass blowing, stained glass), so now my blogs enriched by new knowledge I'm learning since then.
