There’s a stitch in beadweaving called peyote stitch because indigenous Americans used it to decorate their clothing for religious ceremonies involving peyote. The basic stitch is easy, picking up one bead on every stitch. You can stitch it flat or in the round, and with the use of increases and decreases, you can sculpt it into any form you can imagine.

One innovation with peyote stitch is using different sizes of beads organized into diagonal rows. In this case, beaders call this version Cellini peyote stitch. That is the basis for my beaded beads here, which I call Cellini Barrel Beaded Beads. #beadweaving #rainbow #beading #beads

Guess who learned to bead stars, bitches?

Made some DiaDop themed lizzers.

My Autistim ass: these feather beads would make a neat fidget thingy.

Also my Autistism ass: Well, time to break out my frame loom and glow yarn to do this

Anyway, this took about some time during breaks, a making then destroying of a prototype, using my 2.0 mm needles as a stabliser, and 42 luminscent acrylic feather beads, but I made this fidget fabric. It's very clicky, flexible, and I made it to mimic bird skin. It also glows in the dark, which pleases my glow in the dark lover soul.

(Also, coincidentally, it's rainbow)

I’m really excited about my current project because RAINBOWS! Also, now that I’m finally liberated from writing my book, I can work on other beading projects without the guilt that I should be finishing the book. (That hung over me for years; crafters’ constipation, anyone?) I already have my next four bead weaving tutorials planned, in various stages of completion. Two are just concepts with sketches, but the other two are much farther along. Here’s a sneak peak at the first one.

Also happy Pride Month to all who celebrate. Live your authentic selves, people. Plus I’m down with any reason to make more rainbows. #beading #beadweaving #rainbow
