Using Stencils and graph paper and peyote stitch

Ever thought about drawing images with beads?
Here's how:
Step one - choose an image/drawing you want to bead.
Step two - find a stencil for your image by browsing the internet. Many people have very nice stencils already made and FREE (that's the best part). You can of course change the color scheme on the stencil if it's not to your liking.
              - if you can't find what you are looking for, or you're not satisfied with what you have found, simply download a graph sheet here and start designing your own.
Step three - choose the color and size of your beads.
Tip: the best choice of beads would be 2mm (or smaller) seed beads, and  as even as possible.
This is why i would choose Japanese beads, for those are the most even of all (although they are more costly than your average seed beads). If you are going to use the "normal" variety of beads, better select beads that are the same size and shape BEFORE you start beading; from experience i can say that if you select the beads as you bead, the time spent on you project might even triple.
 Step four - start beading using flat peyote stitch and have fun!

Here's an earring sized hexagonal graph  sheet:




And here are a few stencils i found free on the net:

  10. Hi! I know this is kinda off topic however I'd figured I'd
    ask. Would you be interested in exchanging

    My blog addresses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other.

    If you're interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Terrific blog by the way!

  12. Hiya! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when viewing from my iphone4. I'm trying to
    find a template or plugin that might be able to resolve this problem.
    If you have any recommendations, please share. Thanks!

  15. I think what you wrote was very reasonable. But, think about this,
    suppose you were to create a killer headline? I ain't suggesting your information is not good., however suppose you added a title that makes people want more? I mean "Using Stencils and graph paper and peyote stitch" is a little plain. You ought to look at Yahoo's front page and watch how they write
    post headlines to grab people interested. You might try adding
    a video or a picture or two to grab people excited
    about everything've written. In my opinion, it might make your posts a little livelier.
