[Video] Beading with Brap - Episode 3 - The Basic Caterpillar Braplet

Here in the third episode of my new video series, I will show you how to make what I call a 'caterpillar braplet'. This very basic design uses only two beads: 4mm round hematite balls and little hematite-colored Delica seed beads. It can fit a variety of wrist sizes and is very forgiving about doing so. :) Changing-up the beads used to other colors can produce some startling effects and alternating this pattern with others can be very nifty indeed.

I also spend some time playing a little show-n-tell with what I have been doing with the beads I recently got from FireMountainGems.com, shown previously in my unboxing videos a couple of days ago. I have been having some fun, yup yup. (NOT with the watches, though, as they are a lot harder than I predicted they might be. Something tells me that I tried to do them a ways back and had the same troubles. I'll share what I do when I have successfully done it.)

As always, too, you will find some beading tips that you may not know. Only one way to find out, huh. :)

[Video] Beading with Brap - FireMountainGems Unboxing

This morning we got a nice box from FireMountainGems. I love this place. A little angel once told me that they were of use and I have hardly looked back since. :) I still like bead stores, but this is the BOMB of suppliers for someone such as I. They have the best stretchy stuff (PowerCord-and I have used a lot of different stretchy stuffs in my time) and near unbeatable prices, short of a huge bead show. For me, with my health, in my situation? BOMB, as I said.

SO, while these videos aren't of actual beading, whether you are new (Parts 1 and 2) or old (Part 2 better) at beading, there may be something for you to learn about your beading methods in here. My methods of sharing may be a bit scattered, but if I ever get *that* organized about things, I'll just write a book. :) This is free.

Speaking of which, I endorse FMG as a customer, not as an associate or a 'paid blogger' or any such thing. I just plain reward good business with my mouth. (Stop that. Bad person. You know what I meant.)
