Bead weaving

Once I had accomplished bead knitting, I wanted to try my hand at the older art form of bead weaving. My brother made me a large bead weaving loom, because I couldn't find anything large enough to take larger bag projects. I think he did a splendid job, and I have been using it without any problems. Bead Weaving seems to be popular in Japan, and I have 3 books written by Takako Sako on the sunject. They are: "Bead Weaving Accessories", "Bead Weaving Classics" and "Bead Weaving Elegance"
