Beaded Jewellery My latest hobby is - beaded jewellery. Beaded I can do – air necklaces, bracelets, Turkish harnesses, and more. It is very tedious work, with small details, but if compared with the kanzashi, it is less painful. And at first glance it looks very difficult, but it is not. Of course, there are complex techniques and products, but if you like to make yourself something new, such as decorate your clothes or update your image, it is not necessary to spend a lot of money and buy jewellery, it is enough to take the time and create for yourself a unique decoration. Of course, you need to buy some materials, but for that you can make your individual and unique decoration. When working with fittings you may have some difficulty without additional tools and training. But you can do without them. And lastly, I want to remind you everything beautiful is simple. Very often I hear the words “I can’t” or “It's not for me.” I also thought for a long time that I couldn’t do such fine and painstaking work. Wrong!!! How great it is that I can! And most important - it is not the limit! Still there are so many techniques and arts that I want to learn!
