    I like the guys in the comment section who are impressed by the number of threads, 97 is Nothing ! there is a Japanese traditional weaving done by hand which used 1600 threads.
    Now this being said, you lady are insanely patient and even more insanely talented !
    This is mesmerizing to watch and the result is breathtaking , especially your work on colour gradation and contrast which is just terrific .

    I have watched a lot of beading on CZcams but you are the first true artist I have seen this is not to say what the other people are doing is not creative... it is just not art like your project. I was amazed to see the process and love the homemade looking loom. The loom in itself is a work of art. You have moved my thoughts from making little bracelets to statement pieces like yours. All kudos to you and I am subscribing so I hope this is the Artist's channel. Thank you so very much.

    I'm new to bead weaving and have been viewing multiple video learning how. Your video is by far the best I have viewed! Your step by step instruction on a project makes so much more sense than just a few strands for a bracelet! Your incorporation of bars and "found objects" really opens one mind to the endless possibilities of beadwork. You answered so many questions that was floating in my head, some I didn't even know I had. Thank you, thank you , thank you.

    Peggy, you have provided the type of beading experience I have been looking for. The design, to the tangs, to the tapestry is unlike so much on the web. In this one video, I have learned more than any other internet site I searched. I do not want to make jewelry but incorporate the beading into my art. Thank you.

    That was so darn cool. I've never seen a bead loom project that size and with such wonderful details/ Thank you so v much for sharing you inspiration, skill and talent with us. You determination and patience with this work is a wonder. Moment after moment bead after bead, I make beaded jewelry but nothing close to 95 beads wide. The finished product was amazing. I feel inspired (but not to follow in your steps) lol peace,..

    this is a far cry from any loom I have ever seen available, and you are a true craftsperson and very detailed information. I am very impressed. My eyesight and general lack of what this takes makes me an admirer of what you do and know I will only use this as a general idea of what is possible on a much smaller scale. I thank you for your video.

  • @angela14962002
    @angela14962002 Před 10 lety +9

    I enjoyed watching your video, and I love your art! I taught myself how to weave, and I prefer to work backwards (bottom up, left to right). I have used yarn/string in my pieces, but I never thought to use metal (cool idea)! As for mounting, I cheat. I go to the frame shop/hobby store and have them do it for me. The one thing I was hoping to see is an alternative way to finishing (since I have to do that). I hate knotting at the end...and as for weaving the ends back into the piece...well that is even worse. It's funny that I have the patience for the weaving, but not for the finishing. My biggest piece so far is 18" x 18" (55,100 size 11/0 beads). I wasn't happy when I got to the end... I do, however, like the way you knotted your project...I guess there is no way to avoid it... Darn! :) Please do tell me where you got your loom. I have several looms (my addiction), but I like the one you have...as well as your warping board. Thank you in advance.

    • @pdmbcr
      @pdmbcr Před 6 lety

      Thanks Sue B-T. You can try starting with a small Indian bead loom which you can get in craft stores and online. It is a very simple, inexpensive tool and simple technique. It's worth exploring!

    Thank you so much for sharing your process. I work in multiple mediums and most recently have gone back to bead weaving. I really love my variety but been doubting my approach. Checked out your website and all the wonderful photos of your work, and came back to thank you for doing what you do. You've reinspired my creative heart that I'm doing just as I'm meant to do. Your talent is refreshing and wonderful to see!

    • @pdmbcr

    @69Sugah Před 8 lety +8

    It doesn't seem like that piece is 9 x 12. It turned out beautifully. And the detail was on point. A mosaic of beads carefully chosen. I would have probably lost count and had to begin again. Lol. I am happy she shared it. Very informative. I will always have this video as a reference.
    I just purchased my first beading loom and anxious to get started. In the mean time, while I'm waiting on my beads to arrive, I'm planning out designs.
    Now, I'm wondering, if a print shop could transfer an image to graph paper. I have some drawings that I can have transferred to graph paper, without redrawing the image 😊. Which isn't a big deal. But if it's a time saver, is an awesome good idea to consider.
    Inspiring!

    • @pdmbcr
      @pdmbcr Před 8 lety +3

      I've been thinking about how to go larger, since my printer is only 8.5 by 11. I would definitely go to a print shop. not sure if they have graphing capability but you can always draw a graph onto a large print, just takes patience.

    Seeing this artistic achievement gives me a similar feeling to the one I had when I learned how a baby is conceived, develops in the womb, and is born.

That.....right there....was the most brilliant idea for loom work/bead weaving ever! Oh gosh.....thank u for that! I feel like so much relief has just swept over me because of that tip!

    Hi from Madrid, Spain! Truly impressed by this piece of art. I have just started beading after a couple of trips to Mexico and falling in love with colourful Huichol beading art. I am not interested in making jewelery but using beading to customize clothes or create hanbags or just plain art like you just did. Thanks for sharing, it was a real pleasure watching the whole process.

    • @PeggyDembicer

      Dembicer thanks!! I really appreciate it! I have so many questions! I’ve seen in your IG feed that you also have some Huichol-like mosaic type works done. I inow mexicans use Campeche wax to stick the beads together but that’s not easy to find anywhere else but in Mexico. What did you use? I’ve read about epoxi resins but you have lmited working time.
      I started with US and Mexico bead suppliers, later I found some in Spain too but it would be so nice to find all those materials over here... Also, your loom is amazing, I already read who made it for you. I wish I had a Tony in Spain :) Take care!

      @@silviaascasibar267 I use white glues to adhere my beads. I got a recommendation from other beaders and now use Aleene's Quick Dry tacky glue, it dries very clear. I use a narrow tipped plastic squeeze bottle to apply it, the kind of bottle nail salons use to make designs on finger nails. Other beaders like to use motorized air pens for applying the glues. The mosaics are quite time consuming, but such fun when they are finished.
